Resetting your password
We've all been there! Luckily it's simple to request and reset your password for your Bonusly account.
For a forgotten password, start by visiting our password reset page. Enter the email associated with your Bonusly account and click on the Continue button.
If your request was successful, you'll see this message:
Next, click the "Change my password" link in the email. If you are having trouble locating the email, don't forget to check your spam folder!
The link will take you to a new page prompting you to enter a new password. Add your desired new password twice and click the Reset password button to submit.

Enter your current password, and your new password twice. Then, select "Submit":

Password Requirements:
When creating a new password, please be aware that Bonusly requires a minimum of 12 characters.
Additional Tips for creating strong passwords: 💪
Never reuse a password
Use at least 12 characters for your password (the more, the better!)
Use a mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters
Mix in letters and numbers
Include a special character
Try to avoid using actual words by themselves from any language because they are easier to guess and decode (i.e., Burgundy)
Consider using a password manager program to keep track of your passwords, which defeats a lot of standard hacking attempts
Avoid common mistakes
Passwords based on personal information are easily compromised
Misspelling a word (daytt instead of date) only provides limited protection
Reusing a password, even a strong one, endangers your accounts just as much as using a weak password
Password Reset Troubleshooting
Due to recent security updates, some users may be experiencing issues resetting their password. Below are common issues and solutions!
Clear your Browsers Cache or Use a New Browser Temporarily
We have found that saved information in your browser can cause some problems. Before attempting any of the below troubleshooting, we recommend you clear your browser's Cache or use a new browser to get logged in.
In most browsers, you can do this with the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+Delete on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+Delete on a PC
Problems Receiving your Password Reset Email/Email is Not Taking You to the Password Reset Screen
Request a new email from this URL (https://bonus.ly/users/password/new) directly.
This email may take a few minutes to arrive.
If you do not see the email in your inbox, spam, or junk folder, then there is a high chance that your email security gateway blocks it. Please contact your IT/Security team to see if they are able to see it on their end and ask them to whitelist [email protected] to ensure all future emails are delivered.
If your address previously bounced (or was blocked/marked invalid), our email provider may be suppressing delivery. If whitelisting doesn’t help, contact support and we can help re-enable delivery.
Your New Password is Not Being Accepted
When creating a new password, please be aware that Bonusly requires a minimum of 12 characters for every user password.
Your Email is Not Recognized as Belonging to Your Company
If you are seeing either of the above screenshots:
Confirm with your company admin that the email you are using is the one associated with your Bonusly profile.
We often find that if you had a name change, your old email is still associated with your Bonusly profile.
If your company has ever changed names or email domains, you will want to make sure you are using your most up-to-date email.
i.e going from [email protected] to [email protected]
If your admin has confirmed that you are using the right email address, please reach back out to Bonusly for Support
