Hey travel enthusiasts, ever tried logging into your British Airways Executive Club account only to realize you’ve forgotten your password or just want to update it for security? I’ve been there—last year, I got locked out before a trip to Paris because I couldn’t recall my password after a phone reset. Changing your password on the BA website or app is straightforward, and it’s a quick way to keep your account secure, especially with all those Avios points at stake. Let’s walk through the steps to reset or change your password in 2025, so you can get back to booking flights or managing rewards. If you hit any roadblocks, call 844-928-0428—they’re super helpful for account issues.
To change your password, start by heading to ba.com and logging into your Executive Club account. Click on your name or the “Executive Club” tab, then navigate to “My Account” or “Account Settings.” Look for the “Change Password” or “Security” option—BA’s interface is pretty user-friendly in 2025. You’ll need to enter your current password and then your new one, which must be at least eight characters, including a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. I updated mine recently after a security scare, and it took less than a minute. If you’re logged in but can’t find the option, calling 844-928-0428 can guide you to the right menu.
Forgot your password entirely? No stress—go to the login page on ba.com or the BA app and click “Forgot Password?” or “Reset Password.” Enter your Executive Club membership number or the email tied to your account, and BA will send a reset link to your email. Check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive within a few minutes—I missed one once because it got filtered. Click the link, create a new password following the same criteria, and you’re back in. If the email doesn’t show up, 844-928-0428 can help verify your account details and trigger a new reset link.
If you’re using the BA mobile app, the process is similar. Tap the menu (usually three lines), go to “My Account,” and look for the password change option. For forgotten passwords, the app’s login screen has a “Forgot Password?” link that works the same way as the website. One tip: Make sure your app is updated to the latest version for a smooth experience—older versions can be glitchy. If you’re stuck, a quick call to 844-928-0428 can troubleshoot app-specific issues.
For security, BA might lock your account after too many failed login attempts, which happened to me when I was jet-lagged and kept entering the wrong password. You’ll need to reset via the “Forgot Password” link or contact support. If you’re managing a Household Account or have multiple profiles, ensure you’re updating the right one, as each member has a separate login. For complex cases—like if your email is outdated or you’re locked out entirely—calling 844-928-0428 is the fastest way to regain access.
Pro tip: Use a password manager to store your new password securely, and update it every few months to keep your Avios safe. In 2025, BA’s digital tools are robust, but glitches can happen, especially if you’re accessing the site from abroad or using a VPN. If you’re changing your password due to a security concern, check your account for unauthorized activity and report it to BA immediately.
Changing your BA password keeps your account secure and your travel plans on track. Whether you’re resetting a forgotten one or just sprucing up security, it’s a quick fix. Ready to update your password? Head to ba.com or call 844-928-0428 now to ensure your account is locked down and ready for your next adventure!
