- You try to log in and are told you have the wrong password, even though it's definitely correct

- On the website, click on Account Settings
- Tap Change Password and enter your existing password so that the system allows you to enter a new one
- Check your transactions and cancel any purchases you don't recognize
- If the transaction is too far along to get canceled, contact the financial institution associated with your account to dispute the charges
- Alert the Wish support team of what happened by contacting support@wish.com
How To Recover Your Wish Account If You Can't Log In
- If your password doesn't work anymore because the hacker changed your credentials, try the "Forgot Password" link on either the Wish app or the website
