## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://my.roku.com/password/reset |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Roku Channel's password reset page** at https://my.roku.com/password/reset. 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 therokuchannel.roku.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 is valid for one hour only.** According to Roku's documentation, "Roku will send a password reset email. It's valid for one hour." Users must act within this timeframe or request a new reset email. (https://support.roku.com/article/208755948)
- **Two-step verification may prevent account recovery without email access.** If two-step verification is enabled and the user cannot access the verification email or a registered streaming device ID, they cannot sign in. They must contact Roku Support, who will verify account ownership before sending a forgot password email to a new address. (https://support.roku.com/article/sign-in-with-twostep-verification)

## 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.
