Forgot Password Flow through API

Hi there,

Is there any way to perform the forgot password flow through the Rest API? (eg, Send forgot password email, confirm password reset, etc).

Any suggestions on how this can best be accomplished?

 

Thanks

    I don't think there's an API call that will do this.

     

    Assuming you are not using SSO, you might be able to achieve this by using JavaScript to make a POST request to /t5/authentication/forgotpasswordpage with the email address set in the form data.

     

    This would simulate the action of clicking the Forgot Password button. However, I have not tried this so I don't know whether it would work.
