  • Hint for entering mail address: Some introductory text, shown when the user is asked to enter his e-mail address
  • Message after entering: Some explaining text shown to the user after he has successfully created a request.

The module in action

The module is empty while a user is logged in. Only for anonymous users it shows a link "Lost password?". On clicking the link the user is provided with a field to enter his mail address:

After specifying an e-mail address and clicking "Request password change" the module shows the "Message after entering" from the configuration if a user with this address was found. Otherwise an error message is shown.

In Content Manager the module shows some descriptive text so it is visible for the author.
