Revolut keeps your money, cards and currencies in one app, which makes the account genuinely powerful — and a prime target. When a login holds your balance and your payment cards, protecting it is not optional. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Revolut password, recover access when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in the app
- Open the Revolut app and go to your profile.
- Open settings, then security and privacy.
- Select the option to change your password or passcode.
- Enter your current credential, then a strong new one, and save.
Use a password and passcode you do not reuse anywhere else, so a leak elsewhere cannot reach your money.
Recover access if you are locked out
Because Revolut is app-based, recovery runs through your registered phone number and identity checks rather than a simple email link. Keep your phone number current, your email secure, and any recovery options up to date. If you lose your device, use Revolut’s official in-app and website recovery process, and contact support only through the app or the genuine site — never a number from a text or email.
Beware fake “Revolut support” scams
Fintech apps attract a specific, dangerous scam: someone calls or texts claiming to be Revolut fraud support, says your account is at risk, and pressures you to “verify,” move money to a “safe account,” or read back a code. Revolut will never ask you to share a passcode or one-time code, or to transfer money to protect it. Anyone who does is a scammer. Hang up, open the app yourself, and check for real alerts there.
Real fraud teams never tell you to move money to a “safe account” or read back a code. With a money app, that single rule stops the scam that empties accounts.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Revolut with our password generator and store it in a password manager, alongside a unique app passcode. Turn on every security feature offered — biometrics, two-factor authentication and login alerts — and never share a code. With money in the app, those layers are what keep it yours.
