Stash combines investing and banking in one app, which means your login sits on top of your money and your market positions at once. A break-in here reaches both, so the account deserves serious protection. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Stash password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in settings
- Sign in to the Stash app or at stash.com.
- Open your profile or Settings, then the security section.
- Select change password.
- Enter your current password, then a strong new one, and save.
Because Stash is tied to your bank and your investments, give it a long password you use nowhere else.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter your email. Stash sends a reset link and asks you to verify your identity. Keep the email account secure, since whoever controls it can reset their way into your money.
Two-factor protects your money
For an account that holds investments and cash, a password alone is not enough. Turn on two-factor authentication, preferably an authenticator app rather than text messages. Be alert to phishing: emails or texts about a “locked account,” a “withdrawal” or “verify your bank,” pushing you to log in through a link, are how these accounts are stolen. Open the app yourself instead of tapping links.
An app that holds both your savings and your investments is worth a thief’s full effort. Match it with your full effort: a unique password and app-based two-factor authentication.
Secure it with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Stash with our password generator and store it in a password manager. With app-based two-factor authentication, a secured email and the habit of never logging in through links, your money and investments stay protected.
