$Value -passwordreset

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The -passwordreset parameter is used to generate a password reset link that a contact can use to reset their password. The contact clicks on the generated link and will be taken to a page where they can set a new password.

 

Syntax:

$value -passwordreset(url|ipaddress)$

 

Examples:

$value -passwordreset(url)$ - Displays the URL that will allow the contact to change their password. This URL will include a GUID that is specifically tied to the contact, and is valid for 10 minutes.

 

$value -passwordreset(ipaddress)$ - Displays the IP address of the user that requested the password reset within iService. The contact must be at this IP address when they visit the password reset URL. This prevents someone from requesting a password reset and someone else from completing the request. It also provides evidence about the machine from which the request was made.
