Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Surfshark keep saying my password is wrong?
This usually happens due to typos, changed passwords you forgot about, browser auto-fill entering old credentials, or caps lock being on. Try manually typing your password or use the password reset option.
How do I reset my Surfshark password?
Go to the Surfshark login page, click 'Forgot Password', enter your email address, and check your inbox for a reset link. Follow the instructions in the email to create a new password.
Can I recover my Surfshark account without the original email?
You'll need to contact Surfshark support directly if you no longer have access to the email address associated with your account. They may require proof of identity or payment information to verify ownership.
What if my Surfshark password reset email never arrives?
Check your spam/junk folder first. If it's still not there, wait a few minutes and try requesting another reset. Ensure you're entering the correct email address associated with your account.
