Overview

Password reset is a crucial process for maintaining account security. This document outlines the steps to verify the status of a password reset, initiate a password reset system event, and successfully submit the token for a seamless and secure recovery of account access.
Password reset is right now only possible for Email/Password users and not for users that signed up via any of the third party auth providers.

​
Requesting password reset

To request a password reset, use the /auth/user/password/reset/token endpoint. If successfull, the returned token is valid for one hour.
