Sign in at [account.riotgames.com](https://account.riotgames.com/?ref=blog.loltheory.gg), find the Riot Account Sign-In section, and update your password there. If you're locked out, use the [password reset page](https://recovery.riotgames.com/en/forgot-password?ref=blog.loltheory.gg) instead.

Your Riot account password is shared across all Riot games. Changing it for League of Legends also changes it for Valorant, TFT, Wild Rift, and everything else on your account.

## How to Change Your Password (When You Know It)

1. Go to [account.riotgames.com](https://account.riotgames.com/?ref=blog.loltheory.gg) and sign in
2. Find the **Riot Account Sign-In** section
3. Enter your current password, then type your new password
4. Click **Save Changes**

This logs you out of active sessions on other devices.

## How to Reset Your Password (When You're Locked Out)

1. Go to [recovery.riotgames.com](https://recovery.riotgames.com/en/forgot-password?ref=blog.loltheory.gg)
2. Enter the email address linked to your Riot account
3. Check your inbox for a password reset email from Riot
4. Click the reset link and set a new password

The reset link expires after **24 hours**. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder.

## Recovering Without Email Access

If you can no longer access the email address linked to your Riot account, the reset flow won't work. You'll need to [submit a support ticket to Riot](https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/?ref=blog.loltheory.gg) and verify your identity to regain access. Be prepared to answer questions about your account history (purchase records, creation date, IP address, etc.).

## Password Requirements

Your new password must meet these rules:

- At least **8 characters** long
- Contains at least **one letter** and at least **one number or symbol**
- Passes the on-screen strength meter (simple patterns like "password1" will be rejected)

After changing your password, consider enabling multi-factor authentication from the same [account.riotgames.com](https://account.riotgames.com/?ref=blog.loltheory.gg) page. Riot supports email codes, the Riot Mobile app, and third-party authenticator apps like Google Authenticator. You can also use the **Login Management** card there to log out of all active sessions across every device.
