## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://int.bahn.de/en/booking-information/customer-account/faq-private-customer-account-login |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |
| Username accepted | yes |

## Steps

1. **Open Deutsche Bahn's password reset page** at https://int.bahn.de/en/booking-information/customer-account/faq-private-customer-account-login. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address on the account.** Deutsche Bahn also accepts the username. If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from bahn.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Open the reset email and follow its link.** Links are single-use and short-lived; if nothing arrives in a few minutes, check spam and confirm the address.
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

- **Accounts unused for 24 months are automatically deleted.** If an account has not been used within the last 24 months, customer data will be automatically deleted. In this case, the user must register again. (https://int.bahn.de/en/booking-information/customer-account/faq-private-customer-account-login)
- **Password reset email may be filtered as spam.** The password reset link sent to the email address may be filtered as spam. Users should check the spam folder and add the sender address to their accepted senders list. (https://int.bahn.de/en/booking-information/customer-account/faq-private-customer-account-login)
- **Username is tied to email address.** The username must correspond to the email address used for login. Users cannot use different email addresses for login and bookings. (https://int.bahn.de/en/faq/change-my-email-address)

## 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.
