## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://vimeo.com/forgot_password |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open Vimeo's password reset page** at https://vimeo.com/forgot_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 vimeo.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 links expire after 2 hours.** Reset links sent via email become invalid 2 hours after password reset is requested; user must request a new link. (https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/12425418503569-Troubleshooting-Unable-to-access-my-account)
- **Account must be logged out to access reset page.** You must be logged out of any Vimeo account for the forgot password link to function properly. (https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/12425434737169-How-to-update-my-email-address-and-password)
- **Account lockout after failed login attempts.** After too many failed login attempts with an incorrect password, account is temporarily locked; user can reset password or wait for the block to be lifted. (https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/12425418503569-Troubleshooting-Unable-to-access-my-account)
- **Password reset email may be delayed.** Allow a few minutes for password reset email to arrive; check spam or junk folders if email does not appear. (https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/12425418503569-Troubleshooting-Unable-to-access-my-account)

## 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.
