## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://www.hostinger.com/forgot-password |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Hostinger's password reset page** at https://www.hostinger.com/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 hostinger.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 email may arrive in spam folders.** The password reset email can land in Spam, Updates, or other inboxes, check all folders. In rare cases, the email provider may delay delivery; Hostinger recommends waiting up to one hour before retrying.

- **Social login accounts cannot reset via email.** If using Google, Facebook, or GitHub to access Hostinger, the Forgot password option will not send a reset link. Account access goes through the social platform's credentials instead. (https://www.hostinger.com/support/1583493-how-to-reset-your-hostinger-account-password/)
- **Latest reset link overrides previous requests.** When requesting a password reset multiple times, only the most recent link is valid; each new request overrides the previous one. (https://www.hostinger.com/support/1583493-how-to-reset-your-hostinger-account-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.
