## Steps

1. **Open Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's password reset page** at https://www.cibc.com/en/personal-banking/ways-to-bank/how-to/password-reset.html. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address on the account.** If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from cibc.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Open what Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce sends and follow it.** Depending on the route it is either a link or a short code. Both are single-use and short-lived.
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

- **Phone numbers must be on file for verification.** Two-step verification codes are delivered by SMS. Ensure all relevant phone numbers are on file with CIBC, including any international numbers, so you can receive verification codes.

- **Verification codes expire after 10 minutes.** Codes are time-limited and expire after 10 minutes. If incorrect 3 times in a row, the code expires immediately and must be re-requested. (https://www.cibc.com/en/privacy-security/two-step-verification.html)
- **Password requirements are strict.** Passwords must be at least 16 characters, cannot repeat the same character 3+ times, cannot have more than 2 consecutive characters like 'abc' or '123', and cannot use personal information.

## 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.
