[keycloak-dev] User actions

[Gabriel Cardoso]

Hi Stian,

With regards to the "Reset password" flow, will we send the password written in the email to the user? How long can the user use this temporary password?

I know that some services do this, but the most common flow that I've seen in a quick benchmarking was an email with link that takes the user to a page to enter and save the new password (see images below).

I just want to clarify this point before prototyping. 



Thanks,
Gabriel

I was thinking in this case the accessCodeId could be passed as a query parameter, which would allow the account management pages to verify that the user is logged in, but at the same not enable SSO to applications (as the cookie isn't set yet). An alternative I was thinking of was that the SkeletonKeyToken could have the status added to it, but I don't like that approach as that would require applications to check the status. Any other suggestions?
