## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://secure.match.com/Authentication/ |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Match's password reset page** at https://secure.match.com/Authentication/. 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 match.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 links expire after 24 hours.** According to Match help documentation, password reset links are only valid for 24 hours. If the link expires, users must request a new password reset link from the Sign-In page. (https://help.match.com/hc/en-us/articles/6241684153115-Password-Reset-Not-Working)
- **Reset emails may end up in spam or promotions folders.** Match documentation states users should check Junk/Spam, Social, or Promotions email folders when the password reset email is not received, then move it to the Inbox. (https://help.match.com/hc/en-us/articles/6241684153115-Password-Reset-Not-Working)
- **Sign-in only available in Canada and United States.** Match documentation notes that sign-in is only available when users are in Canada or the United States, which may affect password reset functionality for users outside these regions.

## 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.
