## Verified facts

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

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

## Steps

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

- **Saved credit card deletion.** For security reasons, Gap deletes your saved credit card information when your password is emailed to you. (https://www.gap.com/customer-service/managing-your-account?cid=81269)
- **Temporary password expiration.** For security reasons, the temporary password sent to your inbox is valid for 24 hours. (https://www.gap.com/customer-service/managing-your-account?cid=81269)

## 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.
