Reset Password

The Reset Password Identity Validation implementation ensures that users cannot perform a reset password flow without first ensuring the user is adequately identified. The settings below therefore can affect the level of security Authelia provides to your users so they should be carefully considered.

This process is performed by issuing a HMAC signed JWT using a secret key only known by Authelia.

Configuration

configuration.yml
identity_validation:
  reset_password:
    jwt_lifespan: '5 minutes'
    jwt_algorithm: 'HS256'
    jwt_secret: ''

Options

This section describes the individual configuration options.
