[keycloak-user] Issues with password reset link expiration

[Michael Anthon]

Thanks for the replies, I forgot to mention we are currently on 1.6.1.Final however we do have a test setup where we can run an upgrade and check this out.

Will try that and report back and/or create a ticket as required.

Cheers,
Michael

Michael,

Can you confirm if this issue still exists on 1.9.0.CR1 and if it does create a JIRA issue?

I think this may have been fixed in 1.9 with the flow changes I made.  I don't have time to try it out right now though.

It's not about the error message though. It should be possible to open the link multiple times as long as the form is not submitted.

We changed the "error" message in I think 1.9?  Maybe 1.8 to say "You clicked on a stale link.  Maybe you have already verified your email?"  I'll look into improving this I guess.

It should be possible to open the link multiple times, but only submit the password reset once. If that's not the case (sounds like it is) feel free to create a JIRA issue to report this as a bug.

We are having issues with some users when they are attempting to use the password reset feature.  It does work for most users however for some they always end up at an error page saying "WE'RE SORRY ... An error occurred, please login again through your application"

What I have been able to determine so far is that for the affected users we are seeing a double hit on that URL in the server logs and from what I understand, these reset URLs are invalidated as soon as they are accessed.

So here's the state of play
* works for most users
* some users hitting the reset URL twice
* URL is only valid for the first access (I'm not 100% sure about this, can someone confirm please?)
* URL is only valid for 30 minutes (but is being accessed within a few minutes of generation)
* affected users are mostly using Outlook
* some people tend to double click links in emails but I've verified with a reliable user that they are only clicking the link once
* having the affected person send themselves another reset email and then copy and paste the URL from the mail client usually resolves this problem

And questions
* is this an issue anyone else has noticed with Outlook, doesn't affect ALL Outlook users, just some
* is there a way to prevent the URL from being invalidated on initial access
* is it feasible to change the behavior so that the URL is only invalidated when the password is changed
* any other thoughts on how to avoid this issue?

Thanks and Regards,
