Forgotten password — a one-time link, nothing else to remember
A one-time link to reset your password, never stored in plain text.
The problem
Forgetting a password happens to everyone, especially for an occasionally used account.
Without a simple reset, a forgotten password completely blocks access to the account.
A one-time link, sent by email, lets you choose a new password.
