Hi Mohit Since we use this feature for a long time and I don't remember how much there was in XWiki then and how much we had to develop ourselves I am not sure how XWiki does this in detail, but I think I can give you an idea of the general steps: 1. on clicking "forgot password" you are directed to a form where you can enter your username (we use the user's email as username and activation, thus we have a valid email address) 2. for the entered user you generate a validation key (like the one for account activation) and send a mail to the user's email address containing a link to a page with the validation key as parameter 3. when the user follows the link in the mail he gets taken to a page where he can change his password. Hope this clarifies at least the "how will he login" part of the question and I'm sure someone will correct me if XWiki does something completely different.

Hi Folks,
On login page there is a link forgot username and forgot password. When i click nothing happens.Same page gets refreshed. I am not sure do we need to do any configuration to make it work?
What i observed, first i clicked forgot password and then did the login. I an directly taken to reset password page. Where i click reset password, Again nothing happens? I am not sure what is the thinking behind this functianlity. If user forgets the password how he will do the login ?.
Thanks. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
