Enable Password Reset Functionality

On occasion, SmarterMail users may forget their login password. Instead of having them contact the system administrator, they can request an automatic password reset if this functionality is enabled on their domain and they have a backup email address on file. Enabling this functionality can ensure that system administrators spend the majority of their time on mail server management tasks. NOTE: The user must have a backup email address on file to utilize the password reset functionality. For information on setting up the backup email address, please see the KB article Set Up a Backup Email Address.

Applies to SmarterMail 8.x - 15.x

Follow these steps to enable the password reset functionality:

1. Log into SmarterMail as the system administrator.
2. Click the Security icon.
3. Expand the Advanced Settings folder in the navigation pane.
4. Click Password Requirements. The password requirements options will load in the content pane.
5. Select the Enable password retrieval checkbox.
6. Click Save.
