## Verified facts

Checked against Standard Notes's own documentation on 2026-08-19. Fields absent below are ones Standard Notes 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.** Standard Notes 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: Standard Notes 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

- **Password resets are not possible because encryption happens on your device.** Standard Notes encrypts data on your device before it is sent to its servers, so the company never knows your encryption key and has no way to read your notes. For this reason, traditional password resets are simply not possible. (https://standardnotes.com/help/6/i-ve-forgotten-my-password-what-should-i-do)
- **Loss of account access requires account deletion and recreation.** If you cannot recall your account password and are no longer signed into any device, your only option is to delete your account using their reset/deletion tool and start over with a new account.

## 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 Standard Notes sign-in codes, which is what actually guards this account.
