## Verified facts

Checked against Star Wars The Old Republic's own documentation on 2026-08-20. Fields absent below are ones Star Wars The Old Republic does not document, not ones we assumed.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://signin.swtor.com/en/recover/password |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Star Wars The Old Republic's password reset page** at https://signin.swtor.com/en/recover/password. 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 swtor.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

- **Security key prevents password reset without the key.** If an account has a security key attached, users cannot reset their password without also having access to the security key or contacting customer support for assistance.

- **Password requires specific criteria.** New passwords must be 8-16 characters long and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. (https://www.swtor.com/info/news/news-article/20111114)

## 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.
