Account Management

  • How do I unlock my account?

    To unlock your Dynadot account, please follow these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select "My Info" from the left-side menu bar then “Security” from the drop-down. On the "Security Settings" page, click the “Unlock Account” button. To unlock your account, you must enter your "birthday," which is a date you specified when you created your account. (NOTE: The account birthday is not necessarily your actual birthday). If you have Google Authenticator and/or SMS authorized for your account, you will also need to enter your token code (Google Authenticator) and/or SMS code. Click on the "Unlock Account" button. Your account will be unlocked for one (1) hour before our system automatically locks it again for your security. While the account is unlocked, you will be able to change important account information. If you do not remember your "Birthday," you can use the "Forgot Birthday" button on the Account Lock page to submit a request for help. If you lost your cellphone or otherwise no longer have access to your Google Authenticator and/or SMS, you can let us know by clicking "Lost Cellphone" on the Account Lock page.

  • Do you have reseller accounts available for your services?

    A reseller is a company or person that buys domains from a domain registrar or another domain reseller on behalf of their customers. Often with resellers, the domain you purchase is not owned by you, but is instead owned by the reseller, which is something to be aware of. For many years Dynadot did not offer reseller services. However, we are currently working on bringing the best possible reseller service to market. Please check back in the second quarter of 2023 (Q2 2023).

  • How do I activate my security key to my Dynadot account?

    Linking your Security key to your Dynadot account, along with your "birthday" and Google Authenticator is a great way to add extra security to your account. This is why we recommend adding it as a part of your account security. To activate your Security key, you will first need to purchase and register your physical security key on your computer. Each security key has its own steps. Please refer to the product guide and follow those steps. After you have registered your key, please follow these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select “Security” from the "My Info" drop-down menu. Unlock your account using the button at the top of the page. Under “Two Factor Authenticate“, click on ‘Security Key’. Insert the security key into your computer’s port, or connect via your mobile device. Once you have connected please verify your key through touching the top of the key. Click on the "Enable Security Key" button to save your changes. Please note: Your browser may ask you to allow/enable permissions.

  • How do I know if I've received any new messages?

    Dynadot users can easily send messages to each other right in their accounts. All you need is the receiver's forum name (which is different than their username). To check if you have received any new messages, please follow these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. In the upper right-hand corner, hover over your profile name and select "View Inbox" from the drop-down. If you have any new and/or unread messages, you'll see them in your inbox. To view a message, click on the link in the "Subject" field. We will also notify you by email when you have received a new private message. NOTE: If you have marked this sender as 'spam', you will NOT be notified via your account or email.

  • How do I submit a "Forgot Birthday" request?

    Dynadot takes your account security seriously. This is why we ask you to enter a "birthday" on your first login. Please ensure that the "birthday" entered is your actual date of birth. It is required for certain account functions such as editing your account info and unlocking your domains. If you have forgotten your "birthday," you need to submit a "Forgot Birthday" request by following these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select "My Info" from the left-side menu bar and click "Security" in the drop-down. Click on the "Unlock Account" button next to the "Account Lock" section. Click on the "Forgot Birthday" link. Enter the information in the provided form. Press the "Submit Request" button to submit your request. A manager will then contact you via email regarding your request. Please note that it can take up to 2 business days to process your request; however, it is usually faster. You may be asked to send in identification to prove you are the account owner.
