Change your IMVU password from the website or the app

To change your IMVU password, log into your account on the IMVU website or app, go to your account settings, and select the password or security option. You will enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. The change takes effect when ready, and you will stay logged in on that device.

The steps are slightly different depending on whether you use the website or the mobile app, but both routes take about two minutes. You do not need to contact IMVU support unless you have forgotten your current password or cannot access your account.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from the IMVU website settings or from the mobile app settings without contacting support.
  • You will need to know your current password to set a new one, unless you have forgotten it and need to use the password reset link instead.
  • A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and should not be a password you use on other websites.
  • After you change your password, you will be logged out on all other devices and will need to log back in with your new password.

Change your password on the IMVU website

Go to www.imvu.com and log in with your username and password. Once you are logged in, click your avatar or profile icon in the top right corner of the page. A dropdown menu will appear with several options.

Select Account Settings or Settings from that menu. Look for a section labeled Password, Security, or Change Password. Click on it. You will see a form with three fields: your current password, your new password, and a confirmation field where you type the new password again. Type your current password in the first field, then enter your new password in both of the remaining fields. Click Save or Confirm to complete the change.

Change your password in the IMVU mobile app

Open the IMVU app on your phone or tablet and log in if you are not already logged in. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile icon, usually in the bottom right or top left corner of the screen. Look for Settings or Account Settings.

Tap Security or Password. You will see the same form as on the website: a field for your current password and two fields for your new password. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to make sure it matches. Tap Save or Confirm. The app will confirm the change and you will remain logged in.

What to do if you have forgotten your password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it from settings. Instead, go to the IMVU login page and click Forgot Password or Forgot Your Password. Enter the email address or username associated with your account. IMVU will send a password reset link to your email.

Open the email from IMVU and click the reset link. It will take you to a page where you can create a new password without needing to know the old one. Type your new password twice and click Reset Password or Confirm. You can then log in with your new password.

Make your new password strong and unique

A strong password is harder for someone else to guess or crack. Use at least 12 characters and include uppercase letters (A–Z), lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), and symbols like ! @ # $ % or &. Avoid using your username, real name, birth date, or common words that appear in a dictionary.

Do not reuse a password from another website or game account. If someone gains access to one account, they can try the same password on your other accounts. A password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone can generate and store strong passwords so you do not have to remember them.

You will be logged out on other devices after you change your password

When you change your IMVU password, IMVU logs you out of the account on all devices except the one you used to make the change. If you are logged into IMVU on your phone, your computer, and a tablet, you will stay logged in on the device where you changed the password, but you will be logged out on the other two.

This is a security feature. If someone else had access to your account on another device, logging them out prevents them from continuing to use it. You can log back in on those devices using your new password whenever you are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my password if I do not remember my username?

You can use the email address associated with your account instead of your username on the login page. If you do not remember the email address either, you will need to contact IMVU support with proof that you own the account, such as the email address you used to create it or the phone number on file.

What if I change my password and then forget the new one?

Use the Forgot Password link on the IMVU login page. Enter your username or email address and IMVU will send a reset link to your email. You can create a new password without knowing the old one.

Do I need to change my password if someone hacked my account?

Yes, change your password when ready. Also check your account settings to make sure your email address and recovery options have not been changed. If you see purchases or items you did not make, contact IMVU support to report the unauthorized activity.

Will changing my password delete my avatar, friends, or items?

No. Changing your password only affects how you log in. Your avatar, friends list, inventory, and all other account data remain exactly the same.
