Learn moreWhat is ForgotPassword?¶
ForgotPassword is a simple Snippet that handles the form when a User has forgotten their password and needs to retrieve it.
Usage¶
To use the password retrieval functionality, first create the Resource the user will log into when they click on the confirmation email, and put the ResetPassword snippet in. Tell it what Resource the Login snippet is in - or where you'd like it to provide a link back to:
[[!ResetPassword? &loginResourceId=`72`]]
Then create another resource with the ForgotPassword snippet, and tell it what Resource the Reset snippet is in:
[[!ForgotPassword? &resetResourceId=`123`]]
