Vinted turned cleaning out your closet into a marketplace, and your account ties together your listings, your sales balance and a saved payout method. That mix of selling and real money makes it worth protecting — and a tempting name for scammers to copy. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Vinted password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at vinted.com or in the Vinted app.
- Open your profile, then settings and account.
- 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 Vinted account and your balance.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter the email on your account. Vinted sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because whoever controls it can reset your Vinted login as well.
Watch for off-platform buyer scams
The most common Vinted scam is not a hacked password — it is a “buyer” who wants to move off the platform. They claim Vinted’s checkout is broken and ask you to accept payment through an outside link or a “courier service,” which sends a fake payment page to capture your card or login. Real Vinted purchases and payouts happen inside Vinted. Keep every conversation and payment on the app, and never click a link a buyer sends to “complete” a sale.
A buyer who insists on paying you outside Vinted is not being helpful — they are steering you to a page they control. If it is not in the app, it is not a real Vinted payment.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Vinted with our password generator and keep it in a password manager. Turn on two-step verification if it is offered, keep deals inside the app, and your listings, sales and payout details stay protected.
