Introduction

If you can no longer access your GoFundMe account, you may want to know how to recover access to it. Fortunately, it's probably a very simple problem with a very easy solution. Even if it's not, there are still lots of things you can try to do to recover access to your GoFundMe account.

What You'll Need

If you cannot remember the email address you use for your GoFundMe account, you may need to contact customer service for help, as you cannot reset your password without it.If you signed up for GoFundMe via a social media site such as Facebook then you will need to contact that site for help signing in instead of GoFundMe.If you ask for GoFundMe's help in recovering your account, please note that the company will never contact you via the fundraiser form to request identification, contact information, or any other form of personal information.Set up multi-factor identification on your account to reduce the chance that hackers can take control of your account from you.

Go to the GoFundMe password reset page.

Misremembering the password is the most likely reason why you can't sign into your account, so resetting it is the easiest way to regain access to it.

Enter the email address associated with your GoFundMe account in the text field provided and click the Reset Password button.

Check your email for the link to reset your password.

Follow the instructions to reset your password.

Please note that the link is only good for six hours.

Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letter, numbers, and special symbols for your new password.

If, after multiple attempts, you have not received the email with the link to reset your password, and if the email is not in your Spam folder, contact a GoFundMe customer service agent for assistance.

If you still cannot access your account, continue on with the next step.

If you're using a VPN, turn it off.

If that doesn't help, try using an incognito window to sign into your account.

If that didn't work either, switch to a different browser and try again.

Chrome and Firefox work best.

If you still can't sign in, clear your cache and cookies.

If that also didn't work, switch off your adblocker, if you are using one.

If none of the above steps helped, contact a GoFundMe customer service representative and ask for help.

Conclusion

If resetting your password gives you access to your account once more, go to your account page and check your other information, such as your contact information and bank account information, to make sure that the problem was not the result of somebody hacking your account. If you see any changes that you did not make, contact a GoFundMe customer service representative immediately and tell them about it.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for GoFundMe Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
