## Verified facts

Checked against itch.io's own documentation on 2026-08-20. Fields absent below are ones itch.io does not document, not ones we assumed.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://itch.io/user/forgot-password |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open itch.io's password reset page** at https://itch.io/user/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 itch.io; 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 email may not arrive.** Some users report not receiving password reset emails despite multiple attempts, while other emails from itch.io (like purchase list requests) arrive immediately.

- **Reset email issues related to specific browsers.** Password reset emails may fail to send or be delayed in certain browsers, with users reporting success after switching to a different browser like Chrome.

## 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.
