## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://www.deviantart.com/users/forgot |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a code |

## Steps

1. **Open DeviantArt's password reset page** at https://www.deviantart.com/users/forgot. 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 deviantart.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Enter the verification code** DeviantArt 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

- **Multiple reset requests invalidate earlier keys.** If you request multiple forgotten password emails, only the most recent key will work (https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/how-can-i-retrieve-a-forgotten-password)
- **Reset emails may be delayed or filtered.** It may take a few minutes for an email to arrive; check spam or bulk mail folders (https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/how-can-i-retrieve-a-forgotten-password)
- **Email temporarily disabled prevents password reset.** If you've temporarily disabled password request emails, contact support via accountrecovery@deviantart.com (https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/what-should-i-do-if-ive-lost-access-to-my-account)
- **Social login users must recover through original provider.** If you signed up using Google, Apple, or Facebook, you need access to that account to regain DeviantArt access (https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/what-should-i-do-if-ive-lost-access-to-my-account)

## 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.
