Security Update: Password update required for all accounts

To ensure the security of all our player accounts, we have put in place a requirement that all players update their account password before logging into Webkinz World. Players will only have to do this once.

 

 

We have streamlined this process for you. When you log in with your current password, you will be given this prompt telling you to update your password:

 

 

You will be automatically taken to the Change Password:

 

 

Here you can simply enter your new password, and then again to confirm it and click Apply. You will then be taken right into Webkinz World to begin playing.

 

 

We are asking that all players use at least 8 characters for their passwords. We encourage players to use both numbers and letters in their password for added security.

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE (04/24/2020): UPDATING YOUR PASSWORD ON MOBILE

 

  1. Open a web browser on your mobile device (e.g., Chrome or Safari)
  2. Go to webkinz.com
  3. Tap on the gray menu button (3 horizontal stacked lines) in the top right corner of the screen to open the menu
  4. Tap on “Change password” to go to the mobile Change password screen
  5. Follow the same steps listed in the article above

 

 

 

Remember, you will only have to do this once. The next time you log in, you will go right in. The security of our player accounts are of utmost importance to everyone at GANZ. We appreciate your patience with this inconvenience.

 

 

Your Furry Friends in Webkinz World.

    I changed my password after I heard about the breach on the news but then . Then, late to the party, you made it a requirement, but the steps didn’t work to change it via mobile, and I missed 2 days of time capsules because a family member was critically ill in the hospital and my mobile was all I had. Thankfully they are doing better, or I would have the time or energy to care. But this is lame. You’re not even telling people you were hacked, and then you made it a pain and made some of us lose out on stuff :(

    I changed all the passwords on my accounts and still had a warning come up from McAfee that they stopped a suspicious address trying to access my Webkinz site. I use the app. What is that all about?

    I am having a small dilemma. I changed a password for an account but did not write it down and now i cannot change it because I didn’t write it down. I have tried going through the parent email. It only gives me the error “An SQL exception occurred” and I was not using special symbols in the new password. I messaged the support email and haven’t gotten a reply. Please help.

    Schools usually force you to change your computer password 3 times a year so this takes everyone in Middle or High school back to middle and High School experience bright side now kids are prepared for Middle and High School
