## Steps

1. **Open the sign-in page** at halifax.co.uk and choose "Forgot password?". Some sites label this "Can't log in?" or "Trouble signing in?".
2. **Enter the email address on the account.** If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from halifax.co.uk; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Open what Halifax sends and follow it.** Depending on the route it is either a link or a short code. Both are single-use and short-lived.
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

- **One-time passcode expires in five minutes.** When resetting memorable information, a one-time passcode is sent to the registered mobile number. The user has five minutes to enter the six-digit code into the app. (https://www.halifax.co.uk/helpcentre/everyday-banking/getting-online/reset.html)
- **Reset available through app or online banking.** The easiest way to reset forgotten memorable information is through the mobile banking app by selecting 'Forgotten your sign-in details', though online banking can also be used.

- **Personal information required for reset.** To reset sign-in details, users must provide their username along with some personal information to identify themselves. (https://www.halifax.co.uk/helpcentre/everyday-banking/getting-online/reset.html)

## 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.
