A forgotten password. This can send a second of terror through any site member as they try unsuccessfully to log in. This article will guide you on how to reset your password in Drupal 8.<\/p>\n

How to Reset your password<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Visit the main page of your website. For instance, https:\/\/example.com<\/em>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \"\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Look just under the User Login<\/em> credential boxes and you will see Request new password<\/strong>. Click that link to continue.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \"\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    After clicking the link, you are brought to the next page to identify your account. The page should be set to the Request new password<\/em> tab. From there you will see a single field named Username or e-mail address<\/strong>. Enter either the username or the email address of your account in the field. For our example, we are goign to recover the email address of the johndoe<\/em> account.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. After entering the correct information in the field, click on the E-mail new password<\/strong> button.\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \"\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    An email will be sent to the email address on file for the account. Once received, open it and you will see a temporary link. Click on the link to continue.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  6. \"\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    The link will bring you to a one time login page for the user. Click on the Log in<\/strong> button at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. \"\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    You are now taken to a new page where you can create a new password. Enter the same password in both the Password<\/strong> and Confirm password<\/strong> fields and then click on the Save<\/strong> button at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  8. \"\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    After clicking the Save<\/em> button you will receive a confirmation message at the top of the page. At this point, you are logged in<\/a> with the new password.<\/p>\n
