Hello! First off, I’m enjoying perspective - I can see myself getting very deep into it very quickly. I had a question about when a user forgets their password. For a project that requires the user to log in to see anything, how would they request a password reset via Perspective? Is there a way to get a “Forgotten Password?” option on the sign in page that I’ve missed somewhere? I’m talking specifically when met with these screens: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/e/e0ae9465797583bf613f1897e829a77f1bf3d73b.png) ---

As of right now, no - ALL credentials are managed by the Gateway admin, which means that if a user forgets their password then they must have the Gateway admin reset their password to something new. We do plan on fleshing out and maturing the credential system, but it most likely will not be until 8.1 ---

@cmallonee, is there any update on this since we’re now well into 8.1? ---

There’s a ticket for this feature in our system, but it’s still in the feasibility phase to determine if we can and should do it. I would not expect it anytime soon. ---

Thanks, The original question was if a user could reset a forgotten password on their own via a password reset request, looks like that is not available correct? ---

> [@Kevin.Herron](#): > > Users can now reset their passwords through the [internal IdP](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Internal+Authentication#InternalAuthentication-PasswordPoliciesProperties) Hi, Just checking in, so this feature is handy, I'm just piggy-bagging on the forgotten password feature, seems like it's still no available in 2024, is there plan to include it?
