I have not received an email with instructions for resetting my password

Perform one of the following procedures until you receive the instructions:

  • Ensure that you typed the email address that was used during the ESET HOME registration or during the activation of the ESET Anti-Theft feature. Due to security reasons, the ESET HOME web interface does not tell you whether the email address you typed into the system is correct.

  • Check the following:
    • Spam or Junk folder in your email account
    • Whitelist or mark info@product.eset.com as a safe address in your email client
    • Any other secondary inbox folders
    • Gmail users: Check your Promotions folder

  • Re-type the email address again and click Send. Make sure you are typing the email address used during the product purchase.

  • If you are still unable to resolve your issue, contact ESET Technical Support.
