Forget Password

The forgot password flow allows users to securely reset their password if they cannot log in. Users enter their registered email address to initiate the process, and an email with a time-sensitive reset link is sent to them.

Clicking the link directs the user to a secure form where they can set a new password. This flow ensures security by verifying the user’s identity through email and expiring the link after a short duration to prevent unauthorized access.
