## Verified facts

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

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

## Steps

1. **Open Kobo's password reset page** at https://www.kobo.com/account/password/forgot. 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 kobo.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

- **Password reset email expires after five hours.** The password reset email expires after five hours to make it more secure. If you don't use the email to reset your password within five hours, you will have to request the reset again. (https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017707974-Reset-your-Kobo-account-password)
- **Devices must sign in again with new password.** When you sign in to your Kobo Books app or Kobo eReader after resetting your password, you will need to enter your new password to sign in again. (https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017707974-Reset-your-Kobo-account-password)
- **Check spam folder for reset email.** The password reset email might be placed in spam or junk mail by your email provider, or you may have created your account with a different email address than the one you're using.

## 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.
