Frequently asked questions

Never. Movepost cannot see, ask for, read, or store credential values. On the exact complete top-level login URL it opened, its only login-page inspection is a bounded local check for Chromium’s native saved-credential autofill. It can press that form once only while its serialized work-tab claim remains valid. Otherwise you sign in manually, and every two-factor prompt stays yours.

A free read-only scan reads sender names only, never message contents and never your passwords. The mailbox connection is read-only and brokered by Truto, a certified partner, so the Google consent screen shows Truto’s name. It runs once, it finds the senders that look like accounts you’d need to update, and you can disconnect anytime. Skip it entirely if you’d rather add your accounts by hand.

Your account list (service names), your old and new address, and your progress. Not your passwords, not your account numbers, and not the contents of any message. See our Privacy Policy for specifics.

Your first three accounts are free and run the real workflow. After that the Move Pass is $19 one-time for your whole move: the rest of the guided queue, the autofill extension, the progress dashboard, and a record when you’re done, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. The scan, guides, and printable checklist are free too. Gift codes from realtors and movers redeem for the same workflow.

Yes. Our free guides and printable checklist are built for that, and they need no account. The Move Pass removes the tedious browser work: its queue opens each address page, helps fill your new address after you sign in, tracks completion, and advances to the next account. Change three accounts free and you’ll know within a few minutes whether that’s worth $19 to you. If it isn’t, don’t pay. If you do pay and it still doesn’t earn its keep, there’s a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Apps like Updater and MovingWaldo are free because they’re gated behind a realtor or mover and make money from your move by handing you to advertisers. Movepost has no gate and no ads. You pay $19 once, and it answers to you.

It depends what you want out of it. USPS is the one you can’t skip: it forwards your mail, and changes nothing else. The moving apps that cost nothing (Updater, MovingWaldo) are useful if your realtor or mover hands you one, as long as you’re happy being introduced to their partners. If you want a neutral tool you can buy directly, that never sees your passwords and never sells your move, that is what Movepost is for. The full comparison is on our change-of-address app page.

One Chrome extension, on the computer you’ll do your move from. The list builder and dashboard are just a website. The extension fills your new address in its tracked work tab and has no login form of its own. On the exact top-level login URL it opened, it may locally detect Chromium’s native saved-credential autofill and press that form once under strict gates; otherwise sign-in stays manual.

Any Chromium browser on a desktop or laptop: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera. Chrome extensions don’t run on phones, Safari, or Firefox, so do your move from a computer. The list builder and dashboard are an ordinary website and open in any browser.

USPS forwards your mail for about a year and does nothing else. It does not update your bank, credit cards, utilities, or subscriptions, so bills and statements keep being issued to your old address. Movepost helps you update the accounts themselves.

Banks and credit cards, utilities, insurance (auto, health, home), employer and payroll, the DMV, voter registration, the IRS, subscriptions, and online shopping accounts. Most households have 15–40 in all. The free who-to-notify checklist at movepost.app/checklist is the printable list; the free scan suggests which accounts may need updating.

The free scan suggests them. A free read-only scan reads sender names only, never message contents and never your passwords. Movepost matches those senders against its list of the accounts movers update most (banks, cards, government, utilities, insurers, subscriptions), each with the exact page where the address lives. If your mailbox isn’t supported, or you’d rather not connect one, you can search that same list and add your accounts by hand.

No. You or Chromium supply credentials, and you handle every two-factor prompt. If Chromium’s native saved-credential autofill is present on the exact complete top-level login URL Movepost opened, the extension can press that form once only while its serialized work-tab claim remains valid. It never reads or stores credential values; otherwise you sign in manually. Movepost then fills the address and keeps score.

Address autofill works on most sites out of the box. When a form is nonstandard, your address is one tap away on a copy card — paste it, hit “Done → next,” and Movepost still tracks it and queues the next site. You’re never stuck.

By hand it eats a weekend, spread across weeks of “forgot that one.” With Movepost most movers finish the common set in one short sitting, about fifteen minutes of your attention for a typical list, though sign-ins and bank 2FA are on your clock, not ours.

Finishing a move is a button you press when you’re done. Movepost warns you if accounts are still unchecked; it never finishes a move because you closed the tab or left. A finished move stays in your history, read-only, and you can reopen it later as long as no other move is active. You keep those controls — finish, reopen, view your list and addresses — even if paid access has lapsed; only the working queue itself stays access-gated.
