If you've forgotten your password, you may retrieve it at [http://secondlife.com/account/request.php this link].

The avatar name you created during registration is required to login to the Second Life virtual world.

=== Email ===
 
Registration of a new account requires an email address. Once registration is completed, a confirmation email is sent to your email address on file, providing the avatar name you selected.
 
# Log into your email account and search your archives for "<code>second life</code>".
# Look for an email that contains your login name in the subject line: "Welcome to Second Life, <YOUR NAME HERE>!"
 
=== My Account ===
 
An avatar name is required to log into your [http://secondlife.com/my My Account page]. However, there's an option that sends you an email if you've forgotten your account name or password.
 
# [https://secondlife.com/my/account/login.php Go to My Account: Login.]
# Click '''Forgot your name or password?'''
# Enter your email address.
# Click '''Forgot Account Name'''.
 
Your Second Life name will be sent to you shortly.
 
{{KBwarning|If you have multiple Second Life accounts registered with the same email address, this only sends you the name of the ''first'' account you signed up with. This is a known system limitation. Before you ever have to use this form, write down your account names somewhere you'll remember.}}
