Update to Password Resets on AO3
To improve account security and reduce unsolicited password reset emails, AO3 has changed our password reset process. The “username” option has been removed from the “Reset Password” page for logged out users. You can now only reset your password by entering your email address into the password reset form.
This does not affect how you change your password if you’re logged in.
If you need help changing your password, contact Support for assistance.
