Why Am I Being Asked to Update My Password?
Providing our customers with a safe and secure shopping experience is very important to us. We know that many customers re-use their passwords across multiple websites, and if any of those sites are compromised, it can put your online security at risk. That's why it's a good idea to select strong, unique passwords and change them regularly.
How Can I Change My Password?
How to Update Your Password
- Sign into your account at GapFactory.com or BananaRepublicfactory.com.
- Select “Change Password”
- Complete all necessary fields and you'll receive a confirmation email.
How Do I Sign In and Sign Out?
You need your email address — that's your username — and your password to sign in. You can see whether you're signed in or not by looking at the top right corner of the website.

Resetting Your Forgotten Password
If you forgot your password, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the account login page at GapFactory.com or BananaRepublicfactory.com.
