Resetting Your Password
When You Need to Reset Your Password
It's completely normal to forget your password from time to time, especially if you haven't logged into your Canyon Valuation account recently or if you use many different passwords across various websites. Don't worry—we've made the password reset process simple and secure so you can get back into your account quickly.
You might need to reset your password if you can't remember it, if you suspect it might have been compromised, or if you want to change it for security reasons. Whatever the reason, our password reset system is designed to help you regain access to your account safely and efficiently.
Starting the Password Reset Process
When you can't remember your password, you'll see a "Forgot Password" link on the login page. This link is prominently displayed and easy to find, so you won't have to search for it. Clicking this link takes you to a simple form where you'll enter your email address.
The email address you enter should be the same one you used when you created your account. This is the email address that serves as your username for logging into the platform. The system will use this email to send you the information you need to reset your password.
After you enter your email address and submit the form, the system will immediately send you a password reset email. This email typically arrives within a few minutes, but it might take longer depending on your email provider and network conditions.
Receiving Your Reset Email
The password reset email will come from Canyon Valuation and will have a clear subject line indicating that it's a password reset request. The email contains a secure link that you'll click to access the password reset page. This link is designed with security in mind and includes special tokens that verify the request is legitimate.
The reset link is only valid for a limited time—typically 24 hours—and can only be used once. This security feature prevents someone else from using the link if they happen to see the email, and it ensures that reset links don't remain active indefinitely.
If you don't see the reset email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder, as password reset emails sometimes get filtered there by email providers. You can also add our email address to your contacts to help ensure future emails are delivered to your inbox.
Creating Your New Password
When you click the reset link in the email, you'll be taken to a secure page where you can create a new password. The page will guide you through the process and provide helpful information about password requirements.
Your new password must meet our security requirements, which include being at least 8 characters long and containing a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. The system will check your password as you type and let you know if it meets the requirements.
You'll be asked to enter your new password twice to confirm that you've typed it correctly. This helps prevent typos that could lock you out of your account. Once you've successfully created your new password, you'll be able to log in to your account immediately.
Security Features of the Reset Process
The password reset process includes several security features to protect your account. The reset link is time-limited and single-use, meaning it expires after 24 hours and can only be used once. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone intercepts the reset email.
The system also logs all password reset attempts, which helps us monitor for suspicious activity. If we detect unusual patterns, such as multiple reset attempts from different locations, we may take additional security measures to protect your account.
When you successfully reset your password, all your existing login sessions will be automatically logged out for security. This ensures that if someone else was logged into your account, they won't be able to continue accessing it with the old password.
What Happens After Password Reset
Once you've successfully reset your password, you'll receive a confirmation email letting you know that your password has been changed. This email helps you stay informed about changes to your account security and provides a record of when the change occurred.
You can then log in to your account using your email address and your new password. The system will remember your new password immediately, so you won't need to wait for any processing or updates.
If you had any active sessions on other devices, those sessions will be automatically ended for security. You'll need to log in again on those devices using your new password. This helps ensure that your account remains secure across all your devices.
If the Reset Process Doesn't Work
If you're having trouble with the password reset process, there are several things to check. First, make sure you're using the correct email address—the same one you used when creating your account. If you're not sure which email address is associated with your account, contact our support team for assistance.
If you're not receiving the reset email, check your spam folder and make sure your email address is spelled correctly. You can also try requesting the reset again, but be aware that multiple requests might trigger additional security measures.
If the reset link has expired, you'll need to request a new one. The system will provide clear error messages if the link is no longer valid, and you can simply start the process again by clicking "Forgot Password" on the login page.

Preventing Future Password Issues
To avoid needing to reset your password in the future, consider using a password manager to securely store your passwords. Password managers can generate strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts and remember them for you, reducing the likelihood of forgetting your password.
You can also set up two-factor authentication on your account, which adds an extra layer of security and can help you regain access to your account even if you forget your password. Two-factor authentication uses your phone or an authenticator app to verify your identity.
Regularly updating your password is also a good security practice. You can change your password at any time through your account settings, even if you haven't forgotten it. This helps keep your account secure and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
