### Important Note for OAuth Accounts

If you created your Scoot account using an **OAuth method** (such as "Continue with Microsoft," "Continue with Google," or "Continue with Apple"), your Scoot access is managed through that external account. This means:

* **Scoot does not store your password** for these accounts.

* To **reset your password** , you will need to go to the **account provider (Microsoft, Google, or Apple)** that you used to register for Scoot.

* Change your password using the methods provided by that specific provider. Once updated there, you will use your new password to sign into Scoot via the respective OAuth optio
