The Recover Password Template

If a user has forgotten his or her password, a new password can be generated and sent to the user's email address using the Recover Password process.

The Recover Password Template

This template uses three conditional instructions and a BLOCK to contain the form. The three conditions are shown below.

<!-- IF {start} -->
  <p>Enter your username in the field below. We will mail a replacement
    password to the email address you provided when setting up your
    account.</p>
<!-- /IF {start} -->

<!-- IF {pwd_sent} -->
  <p><b>Password sent</b>: A new password has been mailed to the address
    provided in your user details. Your old password will no longer be
    valid.</p>
<!-- /IF {pwd_sent} -->

<!-- IF {not_found} -->
  <p><b>User not found: </b>The username you supplied was not valid.
    Please try again:</p>
<!-- /IF {not_found} -->
