After entering your new password, you will receive a confirmation message that your password has been successfully updated.
Don’t Forget to Log out of Other Devices
For added security, make sure to log out of any other devices where your account may be active. This prevents unauthorized access using the old password.
Consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Riot Games account for an extra layer of security. 2FA requires a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your mobile device, when logging in. If you’re experiencing high ping in VALORANT, check out our guide for solutions.
