## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://www.evernote.com/ForgotPassword.action |
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | no |
| The email contains | a link |
| Username accepted | yes |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open Evernote's password reset page** at https://www.evernote.com/ForgotPassword.action. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address on the account.** Evernote also accepts the username. If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from evernote.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

- **Password reset emails may not arrive.** If you are not receiving a password reset email, add no-reply@mail.evernote.com and no-reply@account.evernote.com to your email provider's safe sender list.

- **VPN or proxy may block reset functionality.** If you're experiencing issues with resetting your password or the system isn't recognizing your credentials even though they are correct, turn off any VPNs or proxies you may have enabled.

- **New password must be at least 16 characters.** When choosing the new password, ensure that the password is strong and at least 16 characters in length. (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/34879795455891-What-to-do-if-you-are-not-receiving-a-password-reset-email)
- **Password reset does not revoke application access.** When you reset your Evernote password in Evernote Web, you can optionally revoke all applications as part of the password reset workflow. If you do not revoke, previously authorized third-party applications will retain access to your account. (https://evernote.com/security/tips)

## 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.
