## Verified facts

Checked against The Elder Scrolls Online's own documentation on 2026-08-20. Fields absent below are ones The Elder Scrolls Online does not document, not ones we assumed.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/ |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |
| Username accepted | yes |

## Steps

1. **Open The Elder Scrolls Online's password reset page** at https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address on the account.** The Elder Scrolls Online also accepts the username. If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from elderscrollsonline.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 emails may not arrive.** Recovery emails from noreply@mail.elderscrollsonline.com may land in spam folders. Add this address to your email's safe senders list to avoid missing reset instructions. (https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4914/)
- **Password reset link delays and expired emails.** A system processing delay can cause old password reset emails to stop working. Delete old password reset emails and request a new one from your account page before attempting to reset. (https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20873/)
- **Resetting password requires answering a security question.** To reset a forgotten password from the login page, you must provide your email address and answer your security question correctly. If you forget both your password and security question answer, contact support. (https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4914/)

## 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.
