What is ResetPassword?

ResetPassword is a simple Snippet that is used in conjunction with ForgotPassword, allowing users to retrieve and reset their password. This Snippet is placed on the page the User will receive in an email, which when they visit will reset their password.

Usage

To use the password retrieval functionality, first create the Resource the user will log in to should 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`]]
