# How can I reset my password?

## Langfuse Cloud

If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it by following the "Forgot password" link on the login page. This will send you an email with instructions to reset your password. Please make sure to select the correct data region.

Please contact us if you encounter any issues: support@langfuse.com

## Self-hosted Langfuse Instance

**If transactional emails are configured** on your instance via the `SMTP_CONNECTION_URL` and `EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS` environments ([docs](/self-hosting/configuration/transactional-emails)), you can reset your password by using the "Forgot password" link on the login page.

**If transactional emails are not set up**, you (or the admin of your instance with access to the database) can reset your password by following the steps outlined in the [self-hosting documentation](/self-hosting/security/authentication-and-sso).

## Agent Instructions

This page is part of the [Langfuse](https://langfuse.com) documentation, published as plain Markdown for AI agents. Every page is available as Markdown by appending `.md` to its URL, or by sending an `Accept: text/markdown` header. This page: `https://langfuse.com/faq/all/forgot-password.md`.

### Querying these docs

If the answer is not on this page, query the documentation instead of guessing:

- **Semantic search** across all Langfuse docs, returning an answer with the relevant pages and excerpts. Ask a specific, self-contained question:

  ```bash
  curl -sG "https://langfuse.com/api/search-docs" --data-urlencode "query=How do I trace a LangGraph agent?"
  ```

- **Index of every page**: <https://langfuse.com/llms.txt>, with per-section indexes [llms-docs.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-docs.txt), [llms-integrations.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-integrations.txt), and [llms-self-hosting.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-self-hosting.txt).

### Before writing Langfuse code

- **Install the [Langfuse Agent Skill](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/agent-skill).** It encodes Langfuse's own best practices for instrumentation, prompt management, and evaluation, and materially improves results.
- **Read [What does a good trace look like?](https://langfuse.com/docs/observability/best-practices.md)** before instrumenting an application.
- **Verify endpoints, parameters, and response fields** against the [API reference](https://api.reference.langfuse.com) instead of inferring them from code examples.
- **Use the [Langfuse CLI](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/cli)** (`npx langfuse-cli api <resource> <action>`) to read or write traces, prompts, datasets, and scores from the terminal.
