Forms: Password Reset

To complete a successful password reset, a user must select and answer a specific security question.

Note that users are configured to use one of the password policies that you set up. Password policies that allow password resets also have configured properties to set the maximum time that can elapse before the embedded email link expires. Also they specify the maximum number of security question/answer attempts allowed before locking down the password reset functionality for this user.

If the security question is answered correctly and the new password/confirmation password entered match and agree with the corresponding password strength conditions of the underlying password policy, then the users password is successfully reset/changed.
