[keycloak-dev] User actions

[Stian Thorgersen]

Yes, the flow should be:

* User tries to login to an application and realizes that he doesn't remember password
* Click on reset password
* A page shows that an email has been sent to the user (including a link to resend)
* The user then receives an email with a link that the user clicks on
* When the user has clicked on the link the user is brought to the reset password form and can insert a new password (and password confirmation)
* When the user submits the reset password form the user is logged in to the realm and redirected to the application

How long the user has to click the link in the email depends on the Realm settings. By default I think it should be 15 minutes (or something along those lines).

There's also other cases:

* Admin initiates reset on behalf of user - in this case a user gets a email, but once the password is changed the user is redirected to the account management pages
* In the above scenario if there was not a validated email associated with the user the user is given a temporary password by the admin - on the first login with this temporary password the user is required to change it
* A password could have expired, in which case the user is required to change it on next long
