Regaining access to your Hostinger user account when you can't log in to the email address linked to it.

Updated over a month ago

When signing up for a Hostinger account, you link an email address to manage your services and log in to your panel. If you’ve lost access to this email address, forgotten it, or can’t complete two-factor authentication due to a missing device, don’t worry. Follow these steps to recover your account and regain access to your services:

Preparations

Before beginning the recovery process, make sure you have the following:

  • An alternative email address you can currently access.

  • A document that verifies your identity and account ownership, such as a payment receipt.

Step 1 — Start the account recovery process

  1. Go the Hostinger log in page and select Can't Access Your Account?
