Wish built its name on rock-bottom prices, and that same pull makes its shoppers a favorite target for fake “Wish” emails and texts. Your account holds your orders, your shipping address and a saved card, so it is worth locking down. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Wish password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at wish.com or in the Wish app.
- Open your account, then settings or account security.
- 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 Wish account and your saved address.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter the email on your account. Wish sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because whoever controls it can reset your Wish login as well.
Watch for fake Wish messages
Wish’s bargain image is bait scammers love to borrow. Be wary of emails and texts promising a “free gift,” a “mystery box,” a “refund” or warning of an “order problem,” all nudging you to tap a link and log in. That link often leads to a fake login page built to steal your password. Open the app or type the address yourself rather than trusting a link, and never enter your password on a page you reached from a message.
A “claim your free reward” text in Wish’s name is fishing for one thing: the password you type on the page it sends you to. The reward is bait; the login form is the hook.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Wish with our password generator and store it in a password manager. Turn on two-step verification if it is offered, keep your email secure, and your orders, address and card stay protected even when fake Wish messages reach your inbox.
Frequently asked questions

On the sign-in screen choose “Forgot password?” and enter the email on your account. Wish sends a reset link to create a new password. Keep your email account secure, since it controls the reset.
Are those “free gift” Wish messages real?
