My suggestion is to keep calling them. One of the problems is that you will never get a response from the escalation team because the email uses the same route as the password reset. Keep working up the line on the phone. It is a problem for only a small group of us and doesn't seem to be a priority for Fitbit.

@Banksf I just sent you a private message to gather some needed information so I can assist you with confirming that you case with us has been properly escalated to our Security Team for resolution. When you have a chance, please check out your PM inbox. Looking forward to helping your wife get back on track.

 

In addition, I recommend checking out this help article for some tips so this type of activity doesn't occur in the future.

During the 2 weeks it took me to get a password, I got several messages that said something along the line of "thanks for contacting support. if we can do anything else let us know."  As they hadn't done anything,  I kept letting them know, to no avail.

 

My account wasn't hacked, I just needed a password reset and the english skills of several of the "customer service" people I talked to weren't up to understanding what I needed.  There are a lot of us who have this problem with a severe lack of proper customer service regarding a simple password need.

@jenijo Sorry for the delay in getting you a password reset but I am glad to know that the issue was resolved.

 

I have forwarded your feedback to the appropriate team. Thank you for your continued patience and assistance with getting this resolved for you.

I'm having the same issues and it's VERY annoying. Why do you have Customer Service if you can't help?  I even offered 3 suggestions myself!  And all I'm reading is how it took people in my same situation days and weeks to get resolve. For a password reset.  That's ridiculous.

I am having the same problem and am growing very frustrated!

 

Wed night - receive email that there was suspicious activity on my account and they have temporarily locked my account.  Regain access and create a new password here.  Tried the link, never got the password reset email.

 

Thursday - Contacted Customer Support, no solution, they would escalate.  Tried the password reset link 10 times, never got an email.

Friday - Contacted Customer Support, no solution, they see it's been expedited and I should have a resolution within 3 hours.

Friday - Called Customer support, no solution.  Tried the password reset link again and never got an email.

Saturday - Chatted Customer Support, no solution  Tried the password link 10 times and never got an email.

Saturday, called customer support, no solution.

 

I just need to reset my password so I can use my account again.  Speaking with folks who don't completely understand the English language has elevated my frustration. 

 

Interesting note:  I get all the chat recaps via email, but never the password reset link.  I even suggested they put the link in the chat, but the couldn't do that.

 

By far the worst customer experience in a very long time.

keep calling, become a problem, threaten to go to Garmin but keep on them. This is an on-going problem for a small percentage of people. Welcome to the club. I love Fitbit EXCEPT for password customer assistance. It seems to be a HUGE blind spot for the company. any other problem is dealt with quickly but they can't seem to understand this one.

Apparently nothing has changed. I have had Fitbits for now 4 years and now have been trying to access my account for weeks with the password that worked with my prior Charge 3 but my password won't work. When I have tried to change my password, no email has been received with the new access. I have been in contact with Fitbit support numerous times to no avail. I have checked noreply accounts and nothing in in there, spam, trash - nothing. At this point after great frustration, I have been boosted up the ladder and now have to wait for someone higher to contact me to try to figure out how I can get into my account. I'm ready to sell my brand new Fitbit and throw the whole idea out.
