Forgot and reset password page examples

A forgot password screen gets locked-out users back into their account with as little friction as possible. Our examples include an icon, a short explanation, a work-email field, a send-reset-link button, a note for single sign-on users and a link back to login, shown for web and mobile across eight visual styles, light and dark. Every example is an original design that comes with its HTML code and a DESIGN.md of colour, type and spacing tokens, in light and dark. Free to use and adapt.

Reset a password

Forgot password design tips

Prefill the email field with whatever was typed on the login screen, so people do not have to enter it twice.
Show the same confirmation whether or not the account exists, so the form cannot be used to discover registered email addresses.
Tell single sign-on users to reset through their identity provider, because a reset email will never arrive for those accounts.
After sending, name the address used, suggest checking spam and offer a resend option after a short delay.

Questions

How should a forgot password flow work?

The user enters their email, receives a single-use link that expires after a short period, sets a new password on a dedicated page and is then signed in or returned to login. Confirm each step on screen, and notify the account by email once the password changes.

Should a reset form say if an email is not registered?

Usually not. Saying an address has no account lets anyone check who uses your service. The standard approach is a neutral message such as If an account exists for this address, we have sent a reset link. Balance this against usability for your product.

How long should a password reset link stay valid?

Keep it short and single use. Many services use somewhere between 15 minutes and a few hours. Invalidate the link once it is used or a newer one is requested, and show a clear message with a way to request a fresh link if it has expired.
