Password Reset¶
BLINK uses Firebase Auth for sign-in. Password reset goes through Firebase's standard email flow.
How to reset¶
- Open the BLINK sign-in screen.
- Tap Forgot password.
- Enter the email address on your account.
- Check your inbox for the reset email (from Firebase / Google).
- Click the link, set a new password.
- Sign in with the new password.
The link is single-use and expires after about an hour. If it expires, request another one.
What does NOT happen during a password reset¶
- Your PIN is untouched. Password and PIN are independent. See PIN and Privacy.
- Your sessions, history, level, XP, Charm balance, and tier are all untouched.
- Your personal Domina(s) are untouched.
A password reset is purely an authentication operation. Nothing about your account state changes.
What to do if you do not receive the email¶
- Check your spam folder. Reset emails are often filtered.
- Confirm you typed the email address that is actually on the BLINK account.
- If you still see nothing, contact support. We can verify the email is associated with an account but we cannot reset the password for you - that's Firebase's job.
Changing the password without forgetting it¶
If you remember the current password and just want to change it:
- Sign in normally.
- Open Account > Security > Change password.
- Enter the current password.
- Enter the new password twice.
Note: depending on the build, this may also route through Firebase's own reset email rather than an in-app change. Either way, the password update lands on Firebase, not on BLINK's database.
What if I can't access the email account?¶
Then you cannot reset your password. Firebase will not bypass the email check, and neither will BLINK.
Your options are:
- Recover the email account itself.
- Start fresh with a new BLINK account on a new email. The old account will eventually stop being used; you can schedule deletion if you want it gone, but you'd need access to sign in for that.
Security note¶
Pick a password you do not reuse anywhere else. Firebase enforces a minimum strength but not uniqueness; reuse is a real risk for any account that contains sensitive data, BLINK included.
