Why Your Norton Login Matters
Your Norton account is the control center for all your Norton products and services. With a single set of credentials, you can:
- Access Norton and manage all connected devices
- Use Norton Password Manager to store and retrieve passwords
- Run maintenance tools like Norton Utilities
- Protect your online activity with Norton Safe Website features
If you can’t log in, your ability to manage subscriptions, check reports, or troubleshoot issues is severely limited. Resetting your password quickly is crucial to restoring access.
When Should You Reset Your Norton Password?
You should reset your Norton password if:
- You’ve forgotten your current password
- You suspect your account has been compromised
- You haven’t updated your password in a long time
- You’ve noticed unusual login activity
Resetting the password not only restores access but also strengthens your account security.
How to Reset Your Norton Account Password (Step-by-Step)
Follow these simple steps to reset your Norton login credentials securely:
Step 1: Go to the Official Password Reset Page
Begin the reset process by visiting the official Norton login portal:
This secure page is where you can manage your account, subscriptions, and personal information.
Step 2: Click on “Forgot Password?”
On the login screen, you’ll see a link that says "Forgot Password?" Click it to begin account recovery.
Step 3: Enter Your Registered Email Address
You’ll be prompted to enter the email address linked to your Norton account. Make sure it's the email you originally used to register.
Step 4: Check Your Email Inbox
Norton will send a password reset link to your registered email. If it doesn’t arrive in a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.
Step 5: Set a New Norton Password
Click the link in the email to go to the password reset page. Then create a strong, secure password that includes:
- At least 8 characters
- A mix of upper and lower case letters
- At least one number
- At least one special character
Confirm the new password, and click Submit to save it.
Step 6: Access Norton with Your New Password
Return to the login page and sign in using your updated credentials. You now have full access to Norton services again.
What to Do If You Forgot Your Username Too
If you can't remember the email you used with your Norton account, you can also recover your username from the same login page. Simply click "Forgot Username?" and follow the on-screen instructions to retrieve it.
This ensures you’ll be able to log in and reset your password if needed.
