Your Patreon account links your payment method to the creators you support, and for creators it holds your income and your community. That makes a strong, unique password essential — a hijacked account can redirect payouts or rack up charges. Our GetMyPassword team covers how to change your Patreon password, reset it when you are locked out, and lock the account down with two-factor authentication.
Change your password in settings
- Sign in at patreon.com and open Settings.
- Go to the Account section.
- Find the Password field and enter your new password.
- Confirm and save the change.
If you signed up with Google, Facebook or Apple, there is no separate Patreon password — manage the login through that provider instead.
Reset a forgotten password
On the login screen click Forgot your password? and enter your account email. Patreon sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep that email account secure, since whoever controls it can reset your Patreon login and its linked payments.
After a suspicious login
Change the password immediately, then check your linked email and payment details for anything you did not change. Creators should also review connected apps and team members with access. Patreon accounts are targeted for their payment links, so a quick review after any odd login is worth it.
An account tied to recurring payments is a quiet target — a hijacker can change a payout destination and you might not notice for a month. A unique password and 2FA close that door before it opens.
Secure it with a unique password and 2FA
Give Patreon a password you use nowhere else, created with our password generator, and turn on two-factor authentication under Settings → Security. With a login code required alongside the password, even a leaked login cannot reach your payments or your creator page.
