## Verified facts

Checked against Apple TV+'s own documentation on 2026-08-20. Fields absent below are ones Apple TV+ does not document, not ones we assumed.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://iforgot.apple.com/ |
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | yes |
| The email contains | a code |
| Username accepted | yes |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open Apple TV+'s password reset page** at https://iforgot.apple.com/. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address or phone number on the account.** Apple TV+ also accepts the username. If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from apple.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Enter the verification code** Apple TV+ emails you.
4. **Choose a strong new password.** 16+ random characters, and never one used anywhere else.
5. **Store it somewhere sealed**: a password manager or encrypted vault, not a note and not a screenshot.

## Common problems

- **One-hour wait before changing password after critical security changes.** Users may be required to wait one hour before changing their Apple Account password or other critical security settings. (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102656)
- **Account recovery takes multiple days when you can't use trusted devices.** If you don't have a trusted device and start account recovery, it might take several days or more before you can reset your password. Apple Support cannot shorten this time. (https://support.apple.com/en-us/118574)
- **Web password reset is slower than using a trusted device.** The reset process on the web might take a little longer than resetting via a trusted Apple device. (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102656)
- **Password entry on older Apple TV models requires verification code concatenation.** With older Apple TV versions, you need to append the last six digits of your two-factor authentication verification code to your password when logging in. For example, if your password is ABC123 and your code is 123456, enter ABC123123456. (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254741877)

## Doing it automatically

Repass connects to Gmail once, finds the accounts you have, and runs this flow for you in your own browser. Passwords are generated on your device and encrypted before they are stored; Repass also holds a key that can unwrap the vault, so signing in is enough to open it. It pauses and hands over when a site asks for a CAPTCHA or a code.
