Overview

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the app. We follow a very different set of rules (and we're very strict about them) than most other news apps. So it's important that you read through this section and the Guidelines section before using GovernEye.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I forget my password and cannot access my account?
A: If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it using the security question. If you don't remember the answer to your security question, unfortunately you will need to register again with a new username. Since we do not collect any personally-identifiable information, there is no way for us to help you through an automated email or SMS. It is best to have a strong but easy-to-remember password and security question/answer combination. You can also opt in for two-step authentication to ensure more security.

Q: Who all can get verified accounts?
A: Everyone can but it would require sharing your personally identifiable information with us, which many people avoid on the Internet. For more details, please visit the Verified Users section from the Main Menu.

Q: Is it possible to change my username at a later time if I wish to?
A: Yes, you can.

Q: Can I use two factor authentication for extra security on my GovernEye account?
A: Yes, you can. However it would require you to share your email address with us. For more details, please visit our 2 Factor Authentication section from the Main Menu.
