## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Has a password | No, signs in with a one-time code |

## Steps

1. **There is no password to reset.** Couchsurfing signs you in with a one-time code sent to the email address or phone number on the account.
2. **Request the code** on the sign-in screen and enter it. Never read a sign-in code aloud to anyone: Couchsurfing will not ask for it.
3. **Secure the inbox instead.** Whoever controls the email account that receives the code controls this account, so that is where a strong unique password and two-factor authentication belong.

## Common problems

- **Magic links and codes expire quickly.** Codes and links sent by email expire after a short time. If a user's code or link times out, they must request a new one. (https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/54047506422683-How-Do-I-Log-In)
- **Recovery form reviews take several business days.** Recovery form submissions are reviewed within a few business days if a user cannot access their email or use other login methods. (https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/54047506422683-How-Do-I-Log-In)
- **No password to change or reset.** Couchsurfing uses passwordless login with magic links or one-time codes. There is no password to remember, change, or reset. (https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/50047154537499-How-Do-I-Change-My-Password)
- **Email address changes require support assistance if access is lost.** If the email address on a user's account has changed and they can no longer access it, they must reach out to the support team for help regaining access.

## Doing it automatically

Repass cannot reset this one, because there is no password on it. What it can do is reset every other account behind the email address that receives your Couchsurfing sign-in codes, which is what actually guards this account.
