## Steps

1. **Open the sign-in page** at mercadolibre.com and choose "Forgot password?". Some sites label this "Can't log in?" or "Trouble signing in?".
2. **Enter the email address on the account.** If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from mercadolibre.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Open what Mercado Libre sends and follow it.** Depending on the route it is either a link or a short code. Both are single-use and short-lived.
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

- **Reset emails may not arrive.** Users may not receive password reset emails that Mercado Libre is supposed to send, even when the correct account details are provided during the reset process. (https://baexpats.org/threads/lost-access-to-mercadolibre.45429/)

## 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.
