How to Reset Your Harakabet Password
1
Go to the sign-in page and tap “Forgot password?” below the password field.
2
Enter your registered phone number or email and choose how you want to receive your code.
3
Enter the code you receive by SMS, or tap the reset link in your email.
4
Choose a new password — make it different from your last one and avoid reusing passwords from other sites.
5
Sign in with your new password — you’re back in your account, balance and history exactly as you left them.
Which Reset Method Should You Use?
OTP Not Arriving? Check Your Network First
Most delayed reset codes come down to the mobile network, not your Harakabet account. Here’s what’s typical for each major Kenyan carrier:
Using the email option instead? Check your spam or promotions folder before requesting a second code — most “missing” reset emails are sitting there.
Lost Access to Your Old Number Entirely?
If you changed SIM cards or lost your phone for good, you’ll need to update your registered number before you can reset your password this way.
Still Can’t Reset? What to Do Next
If you’ve tried both SMS and email, waited a few minutes, and checked your spam folder with no luck, reach out to 24/7 live chat or email support. Have your registered phone number or email ready, along with your full name as it appears on your account, so the team can verify you quickly.
If your account also shows as locked or suspended rather than simply needing a password reset, that’s a separate issue — see the account unlocking guide for the specific reason and fix.
Keep Your New Password Safe
Once you’re back in, take a moment to lock things down properly:
Turn on two-factor authentication
Review your active sessions
Full setup steps are on the account security page.
Password Reset FAQ
How long does a Harakabet password reset take?
Usually under 2 minutes from requesting the code to signing in with your new password, as long as the SMS or email arrives promptly.
Why haven’t I received my reset code?
It’s most often a network delay rather than an account issue — check the carrier guidance above, confirm your number or email is entered correctly, and try the other reset method if a few minutes pass.
Can I reset my password if I no longer have my old phone number?
Yes, but you’ll need to update your registered phone number first (or use the email option if you still have access to that), then reset your password as normal.
Does resetting my password log me out of other devices?
Yes — for security, a password reset ends existing sessions, so you’ll need to sign in again with the new password on any other device.
Is it safe to reset my password on public Wi-Fi?
It’s best avoided if possible. If you must, make sure you’re on harakabet-ke.com directly and change your password again once you’re back on a trusted connection.
