📘

Changing your email address or password is only possible if your password is managed by RapidAPI. These options are not available for single sign-on options such as Login with Google.

Change Email

Click the Change Email button to update your account email. The email can not be an email that is already associated with a RapidAPI account. The new email will receive a verification code from RapidAPI.

Change Password

Click the Change Password button to update your account password. You must enter your current password and enter a new password that is at least eight characters long.

Two factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication allows you to add an identity verification step in addition to a password. Currently, RapidAPI supports text message (SMS) or authenticator app verification.

Text message (SMS) verification: Click the Add Number link. Enter your country code and phone number. Click "Test Phone" and a code will be sent to the phone number. Enter the code, and SMS verification will be enabled.

Authenticator app verification: Click the Setup link. Scan the QR code in your authenticator application. Click Test Code to verify the code and enable the authenticator app verification.

Recovery codes: Both methods of authentication require generating recovery codes. The codes can be used if you are unable to access your 2FA method. Keep the codes in a secure location. You can download the codes or generate new codes.

Turn off two-factor authentication: You can turn off 2FA by clicking the Turn off Two-Factor Authentication button.

Login history

Login history displays the time and location of recent logins. If you notice suspicious or unexpected logins, please change your password.
