Forgot Password

Password recovery supports two methods: email verification code and security questions.

Email verification code

  • Open https://codepus.ai/forgot-password and select “Email Reset”.
  • Enter the registered email and request a verification code.
  • Enter the 6-digit code from the email within 15 minutes.
  • Enter and confirm the new password.
  • The request result is deliberately the same whether or not the email is registered, so account existence is not disclosed.

    Security questions

  • Select “Security Questions” on the same page.
  • Enter the registered username, email, or phone number.
  • Answer all three security questions configured during registration.
  • Enter and confirm the new password.
  • If email delivery is not configured, the page opens the security-question method directly. Contact support if the account has no security questions configured.

    Edge cases

  • Code not received: check the spam folder, then request a new code
  • Email no longer accessible: use security questions or contact support@codepus.ai
  • Account uses third-party: re-link via Third-party Sign-in
  • Security

  • Verification codes are single-use and expire after 15 minutes
  • Revokes other sessions on success
  • Password rotation triggers IDE re-sign-in
