How to set MiUi account Password And Recovering it

Many MIUIers might have queries on how to change your registered email id or old mobile number or update new mobile number and so on. I will try my best to provide step by step guidance.  Even after this if you have any queries please do not hesitate to ask If you haven't created new account Visit here https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/register?_locale=en

Create New Mi Account 

But you already have then you will need to loginhere :https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/serviceLogin

Xiaomi takes the security of the members very seriously so every time you login, you will be asked to enter verification SMS that is sent to your registered mobile number.
You have 60 seconds to enter that SMS code or else after 60 seconds you can re-request to send the new verification code. Sometimes due to maintenance or upgradation the server may not respond timely, in that case, wait for a while and try again.


Also, for any changes you make, the system will ask for a verification code. This is how the verification window looks like.


Account Verfication Box 

When you receive your verification SMS on your device, this is how it looks like now.

Mi Services 




Your Mi Account has some elements which are very important


1. Xiaomi ID : (In Number)
Info : This cannot be changed. This ID is automatically generated at the time of your registration.

2. Name : (You can change it)
Info : This name will be displayed in MIUI's built-in apps, Mi Cloud, MiTalk Messenger.

3. Mail : (Your registered email ID, which you can change/update after verification)
Info : This is your email ID to sign-in into MIUI forum or this Xiaomi account. It's also used to reset your password or request for new password in case you have forgotten it.

NOTE : In certain cases it might happen that you may have registered yourself with your mobile number and not Email ID. In this case I strongly suggest you to add (Bind) your email and do not forget to verify it immediately. 

4. Phone : (Your current active mobile number. You can change this too after verification).
Info : Your phone number can also be used to sign-in or reset password just like your as email ID.


NOTE : Your mobile number is very important element and should not be ignored. Many Xiaomi/Mi services on your phone are depended on this. 
Here too in certain cases it might happen that you may have registered yourself with your Email ID only and not your mobile number. In this case also I strongly suggest you to add (Bind) your mobile number and keep the phone with you while doing this because for security purpose Xiaomi server will send verification code to your mobile number for verification.

5. Password : (From here you can change your password whenever you like)
Note : It's always better that your password should be of at least of 6 to 8 characters long including 1 symbol (@$#%) , 1 Capital alphabet (Upper Case), 1 small alphabets (lower case) and 1 number (2568) all these things can be used in any order.

Importance of Binding Email ID and Mobile Number
It's very important to bind you mobile numberalong with your email ID to your Xiaomi account.
There could be many untapped or unknown reasons/circumstance when you need them.
Most importantly both of them provides good security and support from Xiaomi.
Also, both the information is required for deleting your Old/Inactive/Active account.
