## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://www.thrifty.com/bluechip/forgotpassword.aspx |
| Reset by email | no |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open Thrifty's password reset page** at https://www.thrifty.com/bluechip/forgotpassword.aspx. 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 thrifty.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Open what Thrifty sends and follow it.** Depending on the route it is either a link or a short code. Both are single-use and short-lived.
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 requires Blue Chip membership verification.** Password reset requires the user to be a Blue Chip member and answer security questions including Blue Chip ID, date of birth, driver's license number, and zip code to establish identity before creating a new password. (https://www.thrifty.com/bluechip/forgotpassword.aspx)
- **No email-based password reset for general accounts.** The only documented password reset method on thrifty.com is through the Blue Chip member portal, which requires membership and identity verification rather than an email-based reset link or code. (https://www.thrifty.com/us/en/support)

## 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.
