## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://www.hackerrank.com/auth/forgot_password |
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | no |
| The email contains | a link |
| Username accepted | yes |

## Steps

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

- **Reset link email may arrive in spam folder.** If you do not receive the password reset email, check your spam or junk folder to find the reset link from HackerRank. (https://help.hackerrank.com/articles/2403570133-update-or-reset-password)
- **Password minimum length is six characters.** Passwords must be at least six characters long. Users should combine letters, numbers, and special characters for better security. (https://help.hackerrank.com/articles/2403570133-update-or-reset-password)
- **Username can be used instead of email for password reset.** When requesting a password reset, users can enter either the email address or username associated with their HackerRank account. (https://help.hackerrank.com/articles/2403570133-update-or-reset-password)

## 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.
