Password Retrieval Link

[former_member224883]

Hi all,

We have a requirement that when the user request for a password retrieval, rather an email containing randomly generated password sent to the user, the email should contain a link which upon clicking by the user, should take the user to a new page where user can enter a new password and confirm the password.

Is it possible in standard,,,

Hello Zeeshan,

I'm facing exact the same problem. Did you develope a solution for this by yourself?

If you did, would you be so kind and give me a hint where to start?

Best Regards,

Niko

Hello Zeeshan,

This is not possible with standard functionality.

You would need to create backend function modules that allow requesting the mail (new email template necessary) as well as changing the password. Furthermore you have to adapt the Java side that calls the email request function in the backend and you need to create a new view that allows to change the password without having a generated one.

Keep in mind that you need to make the change password process secure. Otherwise others can change the password with the URL sent by the mail without additional authentication.

Best regards
