Last updated: 8 October 2026. We went through the whole recovery on 8 October 2026 on a test account that we had just registered with a temporary mailbox: we asked for the reset, opened IQ Option’s email, set a new password and logged in with it. The screenshots show that run; our email address and the one-time code are hidden.
To recover an IQ Option password, open the login page, click “Forgot password?”, type your email address (the form also says phone), click Continue, open the “Reset your password” email that IQ Option sends, click RESET PASSWORD, type a new password twice and click Confirm. IQ Option then shows “Your password has been successfully changed” and you log in with the new one. It took us a few minutes.
Quick answer
- Start: iqoption.com/en/login, then “Forgot password?” below the Log in button.
- You need: the email address of your account. The form is labelled “Email or phone”; we tested an email only.
- Email: “Reset your password” from noreply@iqoption.com, with a RESET PASSWORD button. It arrived within a minute.
- Then: type the new password twice and click Confirm. IQ Option shows “Your password has been successfully changed”.
- Check: the page where you type the new password must be on iqoption.com.
How to reset your IQ Option password, step by step
Step 1: Open the login page and click “Forgot password?”
Go to iqoption.com/en/login. Below the Log in button is the “Forgot password?” link (1); “Sign Up” is next to it.
Step 2: Type your email and click Continue
The “Password recovery” page says “To proceed with changing your password, please enter your phone or email.” Type the email address of your IQ Option account (1) and click Continue (2). If you leave the field empty, the page marks it “Required field”. We tested an email address only, not a phone number. IQ Option’s help page says the same route: click the “Forgot your password?” link, enter the email address you used for registration, and you receive an email with a link to set a new password.
Step 3: Wait for the confirmation
The page changes to “Your password retrieval information has been sent to your email address” (1), with a Back to Log in button and a countdown “Resend code in 296s” (2). The countdown shows how long IQ Option makes you wait before you can ask again, which is about five minutes.
Step 4: Open the email and click RESET PASSWORD
The message arrived in our mailbox within a minute of clicking Continue. It comes from noreply@iqoption.com, is titled “Reset your password”, and says “We have received a request to recover your IQ Option password. To set a new password, simply click below.” Click the green RESET PASSWORD button (1). Next to it the email also prints a short code (“Or use the following code”, 2). We used the button and did not find a place to type the code on IQ Option’s pages, so we cannot say what it is for. The email ends with “If you didn’t ask to recover your password, please ignore this email.”
The button’s link passes through a short redirect on another domain (iqcc.io) and ends on iqoption.com/password-recovering/ followed by a long token. Look at the address bar before you type anything: it must say iqoption.com. If it does not, close the page.
Step 5: Type the new password twice
The page “Password recovery” has two fields: “New password” (1) and “Repeat password” (2). Type the same password in both and click Confirm (3). The page does not state password rules, so use a long password that you use nowhere else.
Step 6: Check that the password changed
The page shows a green tick and “Your password has been successfully changed” (1). Click “Back to Log in” (2).
Step 7: Log in with the new password
Type your email and the new password on the login page. We did so in a fresh browser and the platform opened on the Demo account balance (1), $10,000.00. The old password is no longer the one to use. The traderoom looked different from the one we saw straight after registering the account (see how to register a Practice account): IQ Option shows more than one layout, and we did not test what decides which one you get.
If the reset does not work
- No email. Check the spam folder and that you typed the address you registered with. The page lets you ask again after the countdown. If the address is no longer yours, you cannot receive the link: contact IQ Option support (see how to contact IQ Option support).
- Signed up with Google or Facebook. The login page offers both buttons next to the email form. We did not test recovery for an account registered that way.
- The page says the identifier is invalid. We saw “You have entered an invalid identifier of the user account” when we submitted the form with no valid email in the field. Type the full address again.
- You are logged in but cannot trade or withdraw. That is an account question, not a password one: see why an IQ Option account can be blocked and how verification works.
Keep the account safe afterwards
- Use a password that you use on no other site, and do not send it or the email’s code to anyone. IQ Option’s reset email asks for neither.
- Open the reset link only from the email you requested; you should have just asked for it.
- After a reset you did not ask for, check your trading history and profile, and tell IQ Option support.
