## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://getaround.com/users/password/new |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Getaround's password reset page** at https://getaround.com/users/password/new. 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 getaround.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

- **Email links expire when new reset requested.** Each time you request a new password reset link, all previous reset emails expire immediately. Clicking an old link will not work. (https://en.getaround.com/help/articles/bfe987864f49)
- **Reset email may take 5-10 minutes.** Password reset emails may be delayed. Users should wait 5-10 minutes and check spam folder before assuming the email did not arrive. (https://en.getaround.com/help/articles/bfe987864f49)
- **Login suspended after repeated failed attempts.** Multiple consecutive failed login attempts trigger an automatic 4-hour login suspension. Resetting your password allows regaining access more quickly than waiting. (https://en.getaround.com/help/articles/dea0a376b30f)

## 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.
