Password Reset Tool

[swvann]

Hello All,

I am attempting to create a password reset tool on the login page. I have created a ‘Forgot Password’ link. I am attempting to link it to the ‘Forgot Password’ built in tool. However, I can’t find that element to add to the Workflow.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

Hey @swvann Are you referring to the workflow which occurs when the Reset Password button is clicked? If so, you could have the workflow be:

Then, once you have the first action as ‘Send password reset email’, you can have another action which closes the popup, and (if you prefer) show an alert to the User that the reset link was emailed to them:

Once the User receives this link in an email, they’ll automatically be directed to the reset_pw page within your app.

If this isn’t what you were referring to, let me know and I’d be happy to answer other questions!

Thanks @fayewatson! That does help. I do have one follow up question.

How can I link the ‘Forgot Password’ link I created, to link to the ‘Password Reset’ popup? I manually copied the popup to the home page, but don’t see it in the workflows to add it as a action to the link I created.

I hope that makes sense. I am still new to the platform, but loving it so far!!

No problem at all!

Is the login popup is its own resuable element? If this is the case you want to have the Forgot password popup within that reusable element as well (instead of on the index page).

Then in the Forgot password popup, set the initial conent of the email input to be the value of the Login Popup email input. This will prevent the User from having to type their email twice.

Then the workflow for the “Forgot Password?” Button would just be to ‘Show’ the Forgot Password popup.

I think that should do it, but definitely let me know if not!
