## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open the sign-in page** at foursquare.com and choose "Forgot password?". Some sites label this "Can't log in?" or "Trouble signing in?".
2. **Enter the email address or phone number on the account.** If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from foursquare.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

- **Forced password reset after inactivity.** If it has been a while since your last login, Foursquare may prompt you to reset your password when signing in as an extra layer of protection. (https://support.foursquare.com/hc/en-us/articles/14868617223452-How-Can-I-Reset-My-Password)
- **Email not received from lost email access.** If you cannot receive the password reset email because you no longer have access to the email address registered with your account, Foursquare cannot modify your password on your behalf. You must contact your email service provider to recover access to that email first. (https://support.foursquare.com/hc/en-us/articles/21163034380956-Deleting-or-Recovering-Foursquare-Account)
- **SMS verification code unavailable if phone not registered.** If you have not registered a mobile phone number with your account, a verification code cannot be sent via SMS during password reset.

## 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.
