## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://secure.royalbank.com/signin.html |
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | yes |
| The email contains | a code |
| Username accepted | yes |

## Steps

1. **Open Royal Bank of Canada's password reset page** at https://secure.royalbank.com/signin.html. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address or phone number on the account.** Royal Bank of Canada also accepts the username. If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from rbcroyalbank.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Enter the verification code** Royal Bank of Canada 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

- **Three failed password attempts trigger temporary access lockout.** After three incorrect password entries, Online Banking access is temporarily disabled as a security precaution; users must then use online password recovery. (https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/onlinebanking/kioskhelp/sign_in.html)
- **Password reset requires verification of identity.** Users must provide their Client Card number and last name, or equivalent identification, to complete a password reset; verification questions are used to confirm identity.

- **Old password not required for reset.** RBC does not require users to enter their old password when resetting a forgotten password; only identity verification is needed. (https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/ways-to-bank/tutorials/general/online-banking-password-reset.html)

## 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.
