Closed mcginleyr1 closed 11 years ago

Forgot my password (used weird one) no way to reset.

Hi, this will be non trivial as this will require that you:

1) Set an email. 2) That we have a way to deliver this email in a reliable way.

We can do that for sure as an optional if some service to send the email is specified in the config maybe?

mcginleyr1 commented 13 years ago

I'd say if they haven't set the email they are out of luck. And you just use a send out from a qmail or postfix server and not worry about it. With and expiring url

antirez commented 13 years ago

makes sense actually as a first step, feature approved.

anydot commented 13 years ago

It would probable make sense ase precondition for this to verify email during account creation
