## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Has a password | No, signs in with a one-time code |

## Steps

1. **There is no password to reset.** Signal signs you in with a one-time code sent to the email address or phone number on the account.
2. **Request the code** on the sign-in screen and enter it. Never read a sign-in code aloud to anyone: Signal will not ask for it.
3. **Secure the inbox instead.** Whoever controls the email account that receives the code controls this account, so that is where a strong unique password and two-factor authentication belong.

## Common problems

- **No reset email.** Usually the wrong address, rather than a broken sender. Check every inbox you own before assuming the account is gone.
- **Reset link expired.** These are typically single-use and short-lived. Request a new one and use it immediately.
- **A CAPTCHA or a code appears.** Signal may add a challenge step. It has to be completed by a person.
- **No password on the account.** If you originally signed up with Google or Apple, there is no password to reset. Sign in the same way you did the first time.

## Doing it automatically

Repass cannot reset this one, because there is no password on it. What it can do is reset every other account behind the email address that receives your Signal sign-in codes, which is what actually guards this account.
