Frequently Asked Questions

Why does MyQ keep asking me to sign in?
MyQ automatically logs users out after periods of inactivity for security reasons. You can reduce this by enabling biometric login or staying active in the app.
What if I forgot my MyQ password?
Tap 'Forgot Password' on the login screen and follow the email instructions to reset your password. The reset email should arrive within a few minutes.
Can I stay logged into MyQ permanently?
No, MyQ has automatic logout for security. However, enabling biometric login (fingerprint/face ID) makes signing back in much faster.
Why won't MyQ accept my correct password?
Try force-closing and reopening the app, check for app updates, or reset your password. If problems persist, contact Chamberlain support as your account may be temporarily locked.
