Password Reset & Email Verification
Round out email/password auth by letting users reset forgotten passwords and verify their email addresses, improving both security and account recoverability.
Why Reset and Verification Matter
Email/password sign-in is incomplete without two flows: password reset for forgotten credentials and email verification to prove the user owns the address.
- Reset reduces support tickets and lockouts
- Verification blocks fake or mistyped emails
How Password Reset Works
The flow is entirely email-driven so the user never reveals an old password:
- User requests a reset for their email
- Firebase sends a secure, time-limited link
- User clicks it and chooses a new password
Your app only triggers the email; Firebase hosts the reset page by default.
