Recovering Your Password

When you're recovering your password, it's important to remember that your username and Summoner name are different. You use your username to log into the game, and your Summoner name is the name you see in-game. If you're not sure what your username is, please review our username recovery guide.

Common Errors

Below are the common errors you might run into when resetting your password.

1. Password is too weak.

To create a strong enough password it:

  • must be between 8-30 characters
  • must contain at least one number
  • must not be easy to guess **
  • must not contain slashes or spaces

**A password is considered easy to guess if it uses a common password or a variation of it. For example, the word 'password' is one of those common words that are unavailable. This means a password like "password12345" will be considered too weak and will not be accepted.

2. New passwords don’t match.
