Newegg is where many people buy pricey electronics — graphics cards, laptops, components — which makes the account a high-value target. A login that holds your orders, addresses and a saved card deserves real protection. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Newegg password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at newegg.com or in the Newegg app.
- Open your account, then account settings or login information.
- 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 Newegg account and your saved card.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter the email on your account. Newegg sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because whoever controls it can reset your Newegg login as well.
Why a tech-shopping account is a target
High-value electronics make for high-value fraud, so guard the account closely. Turn on any two-step verification Newegg offers, and watch for phishing: emails about an “order you didn’t place,” a “payment problem,” or a “shipping hold” on an expensive item, all pushing you to log in through a link, are common tricks. That link often leads to a fake login page. Open the app or type the address yourself, and check your real order history there rather than trusting an alert in a message.
A “did you order this graphics card?” alert is designed to make you click in alarm. Open Newegg yourself and check your orders there — the panic link is the scam, not the purchase.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Newegg 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, addresses and card stay protected.

I got an alert about an order I didn’t place — is it real?
