## Verified facts

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

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://www.wattpad.com/forgot |
| Reset by email | yes |
| The email contains | a link |

## Steps

1. **Open Wattpad's password reset page** at https://www.wattpad.com/forgot. 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 wattpad.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 only works with the linked email address.** You can only reset your password with the email address linked to your account; the password reset email cannot be sent to any other email. If you created your account with a false email address, you won't be able to reset your password. (https://support.wattpad.com/hc/en-us/articles/211235843-Resetting-or-changing-your-password)
- **Password reset emails may take up to 24 hours.** If you don't receive your reset password instructions within 24 hours, please contact Support. (https://support.wattpad.com/hc/en-us/articles/204913154-Lost-access-to-the-email-linked-to-your-account)
- **Cannot reset password of a closed account.** You cannot reset the password of a closed account. If your account was closed for a violation of the Code of Conduct or Terms of Service, your account cannot be reopened.

- **Password is required for changing username and email address.** Your password is the key to not only logging into your account, but also to changing your username, changing your email address, and deleting a story.

## 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.
