Account sign-in

What happens to Google Auth sign-in if my company email domain changes?

If your company changes its email domain, create a new HackerRank account using your new company email. Then, merge your existing account with the new one and set the new account as your primary login.

Update or reset password

How do I update my password if I sign up using a third-party sign-up method?

HackerRank does not store a separate password for your account if you sign up using a third-party provider such as Google or GitHub.
To update your password, change it in your Google or GitHub account settings.
If you cannot access your third-party account, contact HackerRank support at help@hackerrank.com for assistance.

What should I do if I do not receive the activation email?

 If you do not receive the activation email:

  • Check your Spam or Junk folder.

If you still do not receive the email, contact HackerRank support at help@hackerrank.com for assistance.
