For the eighth time I want to change the password to set up my Fitbit

Hello, thank you for contacting Howly! I am here to help you today! May I know your first name, please?

Nice to meet you, *****!
Can you please tell me what is the issue with changing your password?

Customer Replay

When you go to set up your Fitbit it asks for your password and I can’t find any record of my having given you a password. And so as a result anything I put in it won’t except and my question is how can I get it to accept a new password so I can finish setting up my Fitbit

Do you know the password or have you forgotten it?

Customer Replay

I don’t know it so I guess I forgot it because I don’t remember putting it in. I had gotten a different job type of eight bit but it wasn’t a Fitbit and so that’s the only time I can think that when we were trying to set it up that I might’ve put in a password

Do you have Fitbit app on your phone?

  • Log out of the Fitbit app.
  • Tap Log In then Forgot your password? Enter your email address and tap Send Reset Email.
  • An email is sent to the email address you entered.
  • If you don't receive the email, it's possible that you entered your email address incorrectly or the email went to your Spam or Junk folder.
  • Try completing this step again and check all your email folders. Click the link in the password reset email.
  • This link takes you to Fitbit mobile website.
  • Enter your new password and tap Set.
  • Return to the Fitbit app and log in using your new password.

I can’t really do it at the same time and read the instructions that I’m aware of. I have a new iPhone and I’ve always had androids before and so I don’t trust anything that I really deal with it sorry I’ve been worse than somebody that doesn’t know what they’re doing

Yes, on any device on which you have access to your email
