The ProtonMail password recovery process is a secure procedure that enables the user to regain access to his or her ProtonMail account without the possibility of a data breach. Because of the nature of ProtonMail as a business, it has a rigid social contract that keeps its users’ information safe and private, meaning they do not know your password. You can only remember your password but have no means of recovering it through ProtonMail itself. You will always have to take the automatic password recovery options provided by ProtonMail instead.
In the password recovery process, you will be required to go to the login page, click on the ‘Login’ button, and follow the subsequent prompts. You will have to enter the account username you are attempting to recover the password for and then use the other recovery options you have set up, such as a secondary email, mobile phone contact, or any other. If your account is verified, ProtonMail will let you change the password to one that you can remember.
It is important to note that when resetting your password in ProtonMail without having your recovery key, you will not be able to retrieve any of the previous emails. The only way to reset the existing recovery password in the ProtonMail app is to either enter the original password or use the recovery key. For security purposes, it is advised to set multiple recovery options and back up the recovery key as well.
If you are looking for specific steps or have problems with the whole recovery process, we encourage you to review all of the instructional materials published on the ProtonMail website or to Protonmail Password Recovery.
