## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://app.gusto.com/account_access/forgot_password |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open Gusto's password reset page** at https://app.gusto.com/account_access/forgot_password. 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 gusto.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 signs you out of all active sessions.** "Resetting your password signs you out of every active Gusto session on web and mobile, this can be a useful safety step if you've recently declined a suspicious approval prompt."

- **Old password required to change password while logged in.** When changing your password from within your account settings, you must enter your current password first. When resetting via forgot password, no old password is required. (https://support.gusto.com/article/241112173800473/manage-your-personal-account-settings-as-an-admin)
- **Password reset email delivery delays.** If the password reset email does not arrive immediately, wait a few minutes and check spam or junk folders. Double-check that you entered the email address listed in your Gusto account. (https://support.gusto.com/article/104263831100000/Sign-in-to-Gusto)

## 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.
