Fix Venmo password reset link not working

1. Check your internet

The first and the foremost reason why Venmo password reset link isn’t working for you is that your internet connection might be having issues.

Your internet connection might not be stable or is completely down.

To check your internet connection, you may run a speed test at fast.com or other similar services.

If you are using Wi-Fi, just turn it off and turn it on again after a few seconds, connect your device and try again resetting the password.

Switch to Mobile data:

Another thing what you can do is you can switch your internet connection from your Wi-Fi to mobile internet connection or vice-versa.

Note: Be safe or do not connect to any free public Wi-Fi while using Venmo or any other payment app for privacy and security reasons.

2. Use/Disable your VPN

Sometimes, the login error occurs for some regions or user accounts only.  In this case, you may consider using DNS or VPN applications.

You can use any free or paid VPN service and try to log in and access Venmo app.

On the other hand, if you’re already using a VPN, then disable it and then use the Venmo app, it should work now.

If you are trying to reset your Venmo password and the password reset link is not working, then it can also be the case that the servers of the Venmo are having issues.

So, it’s always better to know whether the issues lie on the client side or the server side.

That being said, you can check the server status of Venmo on its downdetector page.

Similarly, you can check IsTheServiceDown’s page for Venmo. Like Downdetector, it also provides detailed reports of past outages and user-reported problems as well.

5. Make sure your device is receiving proper signals

If you have used your phone number as your Venmo username, and you are trying to reset your password, you will receive the password reset link in your smartphone.

So, make sure the phone number with your created your account is active, and your smartphone is receiving good signal strength.

Note that signal strength is different from the internet connection. To receive SMS from Venmo, your smartphone should have a good signal strength.

6. Turn on & off Airplane mode

If the Venmo app is not sending code to you, then it’s possible that your device is not getting full signal strength.

So, if you are sitting in your room, try to get outdoor or go to the roof or in the balcony. If, still, you are not getting the code, then turn on the Airplane of your device and turn it off after a minute.

Now, go to Venmo and enter your mobile number and request the verification code.

Moving on, sometimes, the problem might not be with the entire browser. It may be an issue in the main session of the Web browser or with the user data. So, this may also hinder the operation of the Venmo website.

However, these issues may not be on your end, and troubleshooting will require a whole lot of effort. Therefore, we suggest using the Venmo via incognito mode to make your task easier.

Incognito mode or the private mode is a feature that most of the browsers have, using which you can create a temporary session that is isolated from the main session. The incognito mode does not require data from the primary session; you will need to enter all login and other details to use any app or service.

Well, using the incognito mode, you can easily get around the problems with the main session of your browser to fix Venmo passowrd reset link not working.

Also, in the incognito mode, your browser extensions and cache data do not interfere (unless you haven’t allowed it in the settings) with the web pages. So, this step can also help troubleshoot whether the site data or extensions are the sources of the problem.

11. Use Another browser

If you have updated your browser and even tried to open Venmo passoword reset link in the incognito mode, and still you are facing issues or still can’t reset the passoword then your browser might be the culprit.

Hence, we would recommend resetting your Venmo passowrd on a different web browsers. You can also try using a new browser on a new device.

Earlier, if you were using Chrome, you could use Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, etc.
