## Verified facts

Checked against Douban's own documentation on 2026-08-19. Fields absent below are ones Douban does not document, not ones we assumed.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://help.douban.com/account?app=1 |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Douban's password reset page** at https://help.douban.com/account?app=1. 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 douban.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

- **Registration Email Restriction.** Currently, user registration using email is no longer supported; users must use phone numbers or third-party accounts (WeChat, Weibo) to log in and register. (https://help.douban.com/account?app=1)
- **QQ Mail System Email Delivery Issues.** QQ mail users may sometimes fail to receive Douban system emails due to historical filter settings or previous reports marking the emails as spam, requiring manual adjustment of anti-spam and filtering rules in QQ Mail settings.

## 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.
