I Clicked Reset Password and No Email Arrived, or the Reset Link Says Invalid

Reset links expire quickly and only work on the platform that sent them, here's how to get a working one.

If your reset email never showed up, or the link says it's invalid or expired, this is almost always one of two things: the email landed somewhere you didn't check, or the link expired before you clicked it.

Make sure you're requesting the reset on the right platform

Heroic currently runs a few separate logins, and password resets don't cross over between them. Use "Forgot Password" on the platform your account actually lives on:

  • Signed up before August 2025: legacy.heroic.us

  • Signed up recently through heroic.us: heroic.us

  • Philosopher's Notes legacy members: app.philosophersnotes.com/legacy

  • Philosopher's Notes standard: app.philosophersnotes.com/login

Requesting a reset on the wrong platform will either fail silently or send a link that doesn't match where your account lives, which looks a lot like "no email arrived."

Check spam and promotions first

Reset emails sometimes get filtered, especially if it's your first one in a while. Check spam, promotions, and any other filtered folders before assuming it didn't send.

Reset links expire quickly

For security, password reset links only stay valid for a short window after they're sent. If some time passed between requesting the link and clicking it, it's expected for the link to say invalid. Request a fresh one right before you plan to use it, rather than saving an old email to use later.

Still stuck after trying the right platform?

Message us with the email you're using and roughly when you first signed up. We can look into your account directly and get you a working reset link.
