The manual way

Reset your Itaú Unibanco password in 5 steps

Open Itaú Unibanco's password reset page
Go straight to www.itau.com.br. This is the same place the “Forgot password?” link on the sign-in screen sends you, so starting here saves a step and, more importantly, means you are typing your details into Itaú Unibanco's own domain rather than whatever a search result offered you.

That matters more than it sounds. Password reset pages are the single most impersonated page on the internet, because a convincing copy collects exactly what an attacker needs. Check the address bar reads www.itau.com.br before you type anything.
Enter the email on the account
Type the phone number the account uses. If you are not certain which address that is, search every inbox you own for old mail from itau.com.br: receipts, sign-in alerts, notification digests. The inbox holding those is the account email, whatever you assumed it was.

This is where most resets quietly fail. People request a reset for the address they use today, get nothing, and conclude the account is gone, when in fact the reset went to an address they stopped checking years ago.
Enter the verification code
Itaú Unibanco sends a verification code. Type it on the reset page to prove the request came from you.

Codes expire quickly, usually within minutes. If yours is rejected, request a fresh one rather than retyping the old one, and check you are not reading a code from an earlier attempt still sitting further up the inbox.
Choose a strong new password
Use 16 or more random characters, and never one you have used anywhere else. A reused password turns one company's breach into a break-in everywhere you reused it.
Store it somewhere sealed
Save it in a password manager or encrypted vault. Not a note, not a screenshot, and not “the usual one with a 2 on the end”, which is the same password as far as anyone attacking it is concerned.

You never give Repass your current Itaú Unibanco password. It uses Itaú Unibanco's ordinary account-recovery process to replace it, the same flow you would click through yourself.

Get Started

Pick a route

Which Itaú Unibanco recovery method should you use?

Start with what you still have access to, not with what you would prefer. Every route below verifies you through a contact method already on the account, which is why the answer is decided before you begin.

Still signed in somewhere?

Then change the password in settings instead. You will not need any of this.

You have the phone, not the email

Use the phone route. Itaú Unibanco texts a code to the number on the account.

You have neither any more

This stops being a password problem and becomes an account-recovery one. Recover the email account or the phone number first.

When it goes wrong

Trouble resetting Itaú Unibanco?

Validation required before new password takes effect

Password reset requires verification through either SMS code or ATM before new password becomes active. Source

Debit card password required for reset

Reset process requires entering debit or multiple card password to confirm new electronic password registration. Source

The reset email never arrived

Check spam and promotions, confirm the address you entered is the one the account uses, then request one more. Repeated requests can rate-limit you, so wait a few minutes between attempts rather than hammering the button.

Your phone number changed

You will need the account's other contact method. Update the number as soon as you are back in, or the next reset has the same problem.

You think someone else is in the account

Reset first, then change the same password everywhere else you used it.

There is no password to reset

If you originally signed up with Google, Apple or Facebook, the account has no password of its own. Sign in the way you did the first time.

After the reset

Your password was not the only thing to fix.

1Check the recovery email on the account

The next reset goes to whatever address is on file today. If that is an inbox you no longer open, you are one forgotten password away from being locked out for good.

2Check the recovery phone number

Same reasoning. An old number is worse than no number, because it can end up reassigned to a stranger.

3Change it anywhere you reused it

If this password was used elsewhere, those accounts are as exposed as this one was. That is the job Repass exists to do in bulk.

Context

Why are you resetting your Itaú Unibanco password?

I just forgot it

The ordinary case, and what the steps above are for. Nothing is wrong with the account.

I think someone else knows it

Reset it, then change the same password anywhere else you used it, since that is usually how they got it.

I reused it somewhere else

Change it here and everywhere else. Until you do, the weakest site holding that password decides the security of all of them.

It showed up in a breach

Rotate it even if Itaú Unibanco was never breached. Passwords travel between sites in your head, not in theirs.

I have not changed it in years

Age alone is not a reason. Being reused, guessable or exposed is. Unique and random can be left alone.

Questions

Itaú Unibanco password reset FAQ

How do I reset my Itaú Unibanco password?

Open www.itau.com.br, enter the email on the account, type the code you are sent, and set a new password. It usually takes a couple of minutes.

What is Itaú Unibanco's password reset page?

www.itau.com.br. Go there directly rather than through a link in an email, since reset pages are widely impersonated.

Can I reset my Itaú Unibanco password using email?

Itaú Unibanco's documentation does not describe an email-based reset. Use the method its help centre does describe.

Can I reset my Itaú Unibanco password using my phone number?

Yes, if the number is on the account. Itaú Unibanco sends a message by text.

Why isn't my Itaú Unibanco reset email arriving?

Check spam and promotions first, then check whether you requested the reset for the address the account actually uses. Most “no email” cases are a reset sent correctly to an inbox the person no longer opens. Searching your inboxes for older mail from itau.com.br tells you which account is the real one.

What should I do if my Itaú Unibanco account was hacked?

Reset the password immediately. Then change it anywhere else you used the same password, because that is usually how they got in.

Can Repass reset my Itaú Unibanco password for me?

Itaú Unibanco does not document an email-based reset, so Repass cannot drive it end to end. If Itaú Unibanco asks for a CAPTCHA or a texted code, Repass stops, shows you the page, and asks you for that one step.

Does Repass need to know my current Itaú Unibanco password?

No, and it never asks for one. Repass uses Itaú Unibanco's ordinary account-recovery flow to replace the password, which is why it works on accounts whose password you have already forgotten.

Is it safe to let software reset my Itaú Unibanco password?

Repass generates and encrypts passwords on your own device, and the model that drives the reset is never shown a password, a reset link or a verification code. Those stay local to your browser. Repass does hold a key that can unwrap your vault, so that signing in is enough to open it on any device; you can revoke that key, after which your master password is the only way in.
