Forgot Password

What this screen is for

Sends a password-reset email for an existing account. It asks for nothing but an email address; Firebase Authentication sends a reset link to that address. An account opened with a Google or Apple account has no password on it to reset.

When you would use this

A reader who cannot remember an existing account's password comes here to request a new one before signing in.

Who sees it

Any visitor who is not yet signed in can reach this screen; the link on the sign-in screen leads here.

Where it lives

The screen exists on the mobile app only; the panel's intended sign-in path has no password to reset, so it has no reset flow here.

What you can do here

Send a reset email

A password-reset link is sent to the entered email address; the email is checked for a valid shape before it is sent.

What the server accepts and refuses

The screen returns to sign-in on its own once the send succeeds

Once the email is sent, the screen closes itself and returns to the sign-in screen, confirming the send with a message there; the reset link itself is never shown on this screen, it goes straight into the email.
