CoverMe users often email us to ask what they can do when they have forgotten their password. Today’s topic will be about how you can regain access to your CoverMe account.

First of all, you will need to set-up a master password and link your mobile phone number.

How to set up a master password?

Enter CoverMe → More → My Account & Passwords → Master Password → Set-up Now

Go to your email account → Click the link to confirm your email address → Return to CoverMe App → Click the “OK” button → Done

Note: Why do I need to enter a geographical location?

If you ever need to recover your master password, you must be in the same geographical location you were when you first set-up your master password. If you are in a different location, you cannot recover your master password. That’s why we suggest you enter a geographical location where you are often at, such as your home or office.
