Varo keeps your checking, savings and debit card in a single app, which makes it convenient — and means your login guards real money. When one account holds your balance and your card, protecting it is essential. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Varo password, recover access when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in the app
- Open the Varo app and go to your profile.
- Open settings, then security.
- Select the option to change password.
- Enter your current password, then a strong new one, and save.
Use a password you do not reuse anywhere else, so a leak on another site cannot reach your money.
Recover access if you are locked out
Because Varo is app-based, recovery runs through your registered email, phone number and identity verification. Keep your contact details current and your email secure, since it controls password resets. If you lose your device, use Varo’s official in-app or website recovery, and reach support only through the genuine app or site — never a number from a text or social media post.
Beware fake “Varo support” scams
Money apps draw a specific, costly scam: someone posing as Varo support calls or messages, warns your account is at risk, and pressures you to “verify,” move money to a “safe account,” or read back a code. Varo will never ask you to share a password 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.
A real bank never tells you to move money to a “safe account” or read back a code. With a banking app, that one rule blocks the scam that drains accounts.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Varo with our password generator and store it in a password manager. Turn on every security feature offered — biometrics, two-factor authentication and transaction alerts — and never share a code. With money in the app, those layers are what keep it yours.
