Duolingo Password Reset Not Working?
Many users on social media have reported that they can’t reset their Duolingo password.
If you’re having the same problem, don’t worry—it happens to a lot of people. Here are a few quick fixes:
1. Check your Spam/Junk folder
Sometimes Gmail (or whatever email you use) accidentally sends password reset emails to the spam folder.
This usually happens when Gmail thinks the email is spam. If the Duolingo email doesn’t show up in your inbox, check your spam folder—it might be there.
2. Request a New Reset Link
If your Duolingo reset link shows a 404 error or says the link isn’t working, it usually means your reset link has expired.
These links normally work for 24 hours, but sometimes they expire sooner—I’ve experienced this 2–3 times.
In this case, just go back to the login page, request a new password reset link, and try again.
3. Clear Browser Cache
If you’re trying to change your Duolingo account password in a web browser and Duolingo isn’t working properly, the issue is usually your browser’s cache (the data your browser has stored).
In this case, just clear your browser’s cache and cookies, reload the Duolingo website, log in, and then try changing your password again.
4. Try a different device or network
Sometimes your internet connection, especially your IP address, can make Duolingo not work properly.
In this case, try using Duolingo on a different device or network, and then try resetting your password.
5. Contact Duolingo Support
If none of these work, your last option is to reach out to Duolingo’s support team and tell them about your problem.
Their team can help you reset your password.
