How you change your password depends on your phone. On iPhone, the app emails you a reset link. On Android, you change it right inside the app.
A small note first: this only works if you signed up with an email and password. If you signed in with Apple, Google or Facebook, you do not have a MigraineMe password to change. Your sign-in is handled by that company, and you would change it in their settings instead. The Change Password card on the Profile screen only appears when your account is an email account.
Finding the Change Password card
This is the same on iPhone and Android.
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the home screen. The side drawer slides in.
- Tap Profile.
- Scroll down until you see the Change Password card.
- Tap it.
On iPhone
Tapping the card sends a password-reset email to the address on your account and shows a small confirmation message.
- Open your email app.
- Look for a message from MigraineMe (check the spam or promotions folder if it isn't in the inbox).
- Tap the reset link.
- Type your new password on the page that opens. Confirm it.
- You can then come back to MigraineMe — you stay signed in on this phone.
If the email does not arrive:
- Wait a couple of minutes — it can be slow.
- Check the spam or promotions folder.
- Make sure the email address on your MigraineMe account is the right one (gear icon → Profile — your email is shown under your name).
- If it still does not arrive, try Forgot password on the sign-in screen, or write to help@migraineme.app.
On Android
Tapping the card opens a Change password screen with three boxes.
- Tap Current password and type the password you use now.
- Tap New password and type the new one.
- Tap Confirm new password and type the new one again, exactly the same.
- Tap Update password.
- A small box says Password updated. Your password has been changed. Tap Done.
If it says the new passwords do not match, retype boxes 2 and 3 slowly. If it says the current password is wrong, that is the one to check — and if you cannot remember it, sign out and use Forgot password? on the sign-in screen instead.
Tips for a good password
- Make it at least 12 characters if you can. Longer is better than complicated.
- A short sentence with spaces or numbers is easier to remember than a random string.
- Do not use the same password you use for your email or your bank.
After your password is changed
You stay signed in on this phone. If you are signed in on a second phone or tablet, that device may sign itself out and ask for the new password the next time you open the app. That is normal.
