## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://accounts.kakao.com/ |
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | yes |
| The email contains | a code |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open KakaoTalk's password reset page** at https://accounts.kakao.com/. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address or phone number on the account.** If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from kakaocorp.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Enter the verification code** KakaoTalk emails you.
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

- **Email verification or user identification required for password reset.** To protect your Kakao Account, you must pass email verification for the email address used for Kakao Account as well as user identification as part of the password reset process. If you cannot go through email verification or pass user identification, you cannot reset your password. (https://cs.kakao.com/helps_html/1073186020?locale=en)
- **Password reset causes re-login on other devices.** After setting a new password, you will be required to log in again on other devices where you are logged in (such as PC), though you may choose to remain logged in on your current device. (https://cs.kakao.com/helps_html/1073186009?locale=en)
- **Security alerts sent on password reset.** For security reasons, alerts are immediately sent to your email or KakaoTalk when you log in or change your password. (https://www.kakaocorp.com/customerSupport/learnKakaoAccount?lang=en)

## 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.
