Recover your password
Forgot your password? Request a recovery link by email and choose a new one in minutes.
If you can't remember your password, AreaCacao emails you a link to create a new one. The flow starts right at the login screen, at https://app.areacacao.com/login.
Step by step
- At
https://app.areacacao.com/login, click "Forgot your password?" - The Recover password screen opens: enter your Email and click Send recovery link. While your request is being processed, you'll see a waiting state with an estimated time.
- Check your inbox (and spam). You'll receive an email with a link that's valid for 60 minutes.
- Open the link: a screen opens where you type your New password (at least 8 characters) and Confirm password.
- Click Save new password. You'll see Password updated and, a few seconds later, the app takes you back to the login screen with the banner "Password reset — You can now sign in with your new password."
The link expires
For security, the recovery link expires after one hour. If you open an expired or already-used link, you'll see the Link invalid or expired screen with the Request a new link button. It takes you to the Forgot your password? screen: enter your email and click Send reset link to get a new one.
Errors when setting the new password
| Message | What it means |
|---|---|
| "Password must be at least 8 characters." | The new password is too short. |
| "Passwords don't match." | The new password and its confirmation aren't the same. |
| "The link is invalid or has expired. Request a new reset link." | The link no longer works; request another one with Request a new link or from the login screen. |
Recovering your password does not turn off two-step verification: if your account has it, you'll still need your code when you sign in.
What if you don't get the email?
- Check that the email you entered is the one on your account.
- Look in your spam or promotions folder.
- Wait a few minutes and request the link again.
- If it still doesn't arrive, write to support@areacacao.com.
