Change or reset your Nest Account password

Important: This article is for customers who are using a Nest Account that was created before August 19, 2019 and has not been migrated to a Google Account. 

Check that you’re using a Nest Account

• If you started using the Nest app after August 19, 2019, you’re using a Google Account.
• If you’re signed in to the Nest app, at the top right, tap Settings . If the option “Migrate to a Google Account” does not appear on the screen, then you’re using a Nest Account.
• If you can’t sign in to the Nest app, go to myaccount.google.com/permissions  sign in with your Google Account. If Nest appears under “Signing in with Google,” then you need to use your Google Account to sign in to the Nest app. 
  • Note: If you have multiple Google Accounts, you may need to check all of them. 

If you’re using a Google Account, follow the instructions to change or reset your Google Account password.
