Reset your password

Someone asked to reset the password for {{email}}. Use the button below to choose a new one. It expires in {{expiryMinutes}} minutes.

Choose a new password [{{actionUrl}}]

Or paste this into your browser: {{actionUrl}}

If this was not you, your password has not changed and no action is needed. The link above is the only way to change it, and only you have it.

{{footerNote}}
```

Shown with sample values. The HTML and plain-text tabs keep the placeholders.

About

## When to send it

A card-style alternative to the password reset. It names the address the request was made for, gives a button and a pasteable link, and tells anyone who did not ask that their password is unchanged.

Values

## What each send fills in

Required values have to come with every send. The rest fall back to the default shown here.

| Placeholder | Kind | Required | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `{{productName}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{email}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{actionUrl}}` | Link | Required | None |
| `{{expiryMinutes}}` | Text | Optional | 60 |
| `{{footerNote}}` | Text | Optional | You are receiving this because a password reset was requested. |
