Micro Center is a destination for computers, components and electronics, where orders can run high and your account stores your order history, your saved addresses and a saved card. Big-ticket tech purchases and stored payment make the account worth protecting. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Micro Center password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at microcenter.com or in the Micro Center app.
- Open your account, then account settings or profile.
- Select the option to change password.
- Enter your current password, then a strong new one, and save.
Use a long password you do not reuse anywhere else, so a leak on another site cannot open your Micro Center account and your saved card.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter the email on your account. Micro Center sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because whoever controls it can reset your Micro Center login as well.
Protect your orders and saved card
Because electronics orders are high-value, a hijacked account can mean expensive fraudulent purchases or in-store pickups arranged on your saved card. Turn on any two-step verification Micro Center offers, and watch for phishing: emails about an “order problem,” a “pickup ready” notice, or an “exclusive deal,” all pushing you to log in through a link, are common bait. Open the app or type the address yourself, and check your real orders there rather than trusting an alert in a message.
On a high-value tech account, a saved card can fund expensive fraud in a single order. A unique password and two-step verification keep your pickups and purchases yours.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Micro Center with our password generator and keep it in a password manager. With two-step verification and the habit of never logging in through email links, your orders and saved card stay protected.
