Valorant Account Recovery: Get Your Riot Account Back

Valorant uses your Riot account. Recover the username or password on Riot's sign-in help page with your email. If hacked, contact Riot support.

Forgot username or password

1. Open the Riot sign-in page and choose Can't sign in?
2. Pick username or password recovery.
3. Enter the email on the Riot account.
4. Follow the email to reset or see your username.

Your Riot ID (Name#Tag) is what others see in game. Your username is what you sign in with. They are often different.

No access to the email

Contact Riot support and explain. They may ask for:

• Your Riot ID and old usernames.
• The region and rough account creation date.
• Purchase receipts for Valorant Points.
• The country and devices you play from.

Hacked account

Login verification

Riot can send a code to your email when you sign in from a new device. Turn this on in account settings; it blocks sign-ins with only a stolen password.

League of Legends and other Riot games

One Riot account covers Valorant, League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics and other Riot games. Recovering it brings all of them back. See League of Legends recovery.

Account selling

Buying or selling Valorant accounts breaks Riot's terms. A bought account can be reclaimed by the original owner, and Riot will not help the buyer.

Vanguard and bans

If you cannot play because of a Vanguard error or a ban, account recovery steps will not help. Check Riot support articles for the error code shown.

Keep your email secure

Most Riot account thefts start with a stolen email account. Protect the email with two-step verification, because whoever controls it can reset your Riot password.

Signing in through other accounts

If you created the Riot account with Google, Apple or Xbox sign-in, use that same button to log in rather than a password.

Riot ID versus username

Your Riot ID with its tagline is the name other players see, not the username you log in with. If you only remember the Riot ID, use the forgot username option on the sign-in page and Riot emails the login name to you.
