Requesting a new password
- To request a new password, visit https://github.com/password_reset.
- Enter the email address associated with your personal GitHub account, then click Send password reset email. The email will be sent to the backup email address if you have one configured.
- We'll email you a link that will allow you to reset your password. You must click on this link within 3 hours of receiving the email. If you didn't receive an email from us, make sure to check your spam folder.
- After clicking on the link in your email, you'll be asked to enter a new password.
To avoid losing your password in the future, we suggest using a secure password manager, like LastPass, 1Password, or Keeper.
Changing an existing password
Ao digitar uma senha para efetuar o login, criar uma conta ou mudar sua senha GitHub irá verificar se a senha inserida é considerada fraca de acordo com os conjuntos de dados como o HaveIBeenPwted. A senha pode ser identificada como fraca, mesmo que você nunca tenha usado essa senha antes.
O GitHub inspeciona a senha apenas no momento em que você a digita e nunca armazena a senha que você digitou em um texto simples. Para obter mais informações, consulte HaveIBeenPwned.
