The Password Recovery Service on the Qiwa platform, provided by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, enables users to reset their account passwords in case of loss or forgetfulness. The service ensures secure and swift access restoration through multiple verification methods to protect data and prevent unauthorized entry.
The process involves navigating to the Qiwa login page and clicking the 'Forgot Password' option. Users enter their national ID or residence number linked to the account, after which a verification link is sent via SMS (OTP) to the registered mobile number. Users enter this code to confirm their identity, then set a new password requiring at least 10 characters including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols to ensure security.
Designed for user-friendliness and privacy protection, the service employs advanced encryption techniques. Users may update their contact information to facilitate future recovery. The platform provides guidance materials and technical support for a smooth recovery experience.
