Password Reset should be an option for logged-in users too
-
@marcusquinn I see github and the likes also show a password reset link in the profile. We can do this as well, as it essentially just prefills the regular password reset form with the email address.
There are two blocking issues, we need to fix first though:
- Currently in a login session you could just change the email address right there and then trigger the password reset (this is already a bit of an issue so we will fix this anyways to require the password on email change)
- Fix the password reset page to allow prefilling and directly jump into that form unlike now from the login page.

@nebulon Sounds good - be happy with that!
@marcusquinn this has been implemented now and will be part of the next release.

@nebulon Magic - thank you kindly!
Often I end up doing support over the phone or SMS without web access, so hoping this will make it easier to verbalise instructions without needing to copy/paste links.

@nebulon Can I get an ETA on this, and what the URL will be please? (ideally something memorable, like my.example.com/password-reset)

@marcusquinn So what has been implemented is a way to reset the password on behalf of the user as an admin. If I understand you correctly, then you also want a direct link for the user to reset the password on his/her own?
This does already exist though: https://my.example.com/login.html?passwordReset
Would that work for you? -

That was my understanding of what @marcusquinn wanted too - for already existing logged in users to be able to reset their own passwords...
This does already exist though: https://my.example.com/login.html?passwordReset
Would that work for you?Heh, I think that is exactly what @marcusquinn was after!
That should be added to the docs somewhere!

@robi Why not have as I've suggested?
This suggestion has a duplicate time cost and no benefit to any other CLoudron users.It's considered feedback and a simple recommendation from trying to manage 50+ users of various computer literacy. The suggestion is good, and will help anyone else managing many variable Cloudron Users. No need for the debate time is starting to exceed the implementation time.

@marcusquinn because it already exists
