Password Reset Direct link

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

Is there anyway to get direct access to the password reset page?
Currently you have to visit the login page and click ‘Forgot your password’ first. I’m just wanting to remove a step for the user.
I thought /panel/reset-password/ would go directly to it but that’s a different process.

Is that for a frontend login?

No for Panel access.
I’m sending an email to the new admin user via a hook when I’ve created their account.
Ideally wanted them to create a new password without having to send them one, hense the need for a link to the ‘forgot your password’ form/page.

A direct link to the password reset form is currently not available, but what you could do is to build a custom route like so (untested):

<?php

use Kirby\Http\Response;

return [
  'routes' => [
    [
      'pattern' => 'reset-password/(:any)',
      'action'  => function ($email) {
        try {
          kirby()->auth()->createChallenge($email, false, 'password-reset');
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
          return new Response($e->getMessage(), 'text/plain', 400);
        }

        return Response::redirect('panel/login');
      }
    ]
  ]
];

Then you can send users a link like https://example.com/reset-password/your@email.com and they will be sent directly to the entry form for the password reset code.
