Changing your passwords from time to time can counter many hacking threats, significantly reducing the risk of exposing your personal information. Ideally, you should change your password every three months for all your accounts, including GroupMe. However, you might simply need to change your password because you’ve forgotten it.

Regardless of your situation, GroupMe allows you to reset your password whenever you want.

FAQs

How often can I change my GroupMe account password?

You can change it as often as you want. But if you’re registered with your Facebook account, keep in mind that Facebook has a security measure that allows users to request a new password only a few times a day.

How do I reset my GroupMe email address?

Changing your GroupMe email address is similar to changing your account password. It requires going to the same account settings, but instead of entering the password section, you need to go to the email section. Then, you just need to delete your active email and enter the new one.

Can I use my old credentials to activate a deleted GroupMe account?

Once you delete your GroupMe account, you have only 48 hours to retrieve it with your old password, email address, or phone number. After 48 hours expire, you’ll have to create a new account.

Keep Your GroupMe Account Secure

Regularly updating your GroupMe account passwords is an excellent way to keep the hackers at bay. Just ensure that you remember it or write it down on a piece of paper that you’ll keep in a secure place. But even if you lose the password, you can quickly request a new one as long as you have your email or phone number.
