Build your own email, block by block.
A password reset email has one job: get a locked-out person back into their account, safely and fast. People open it within seconds of asking for it, often on a phone, often a little stressed.
Our password reset templates keep it short. A clear heading says what the email is. One big button resets the password. A plain line says how long the link works, and a muted note tells people what to do if they did not ask for a reset. Some templates add the device, browser and time of the request, or a one-time login code in a large, easy-to-read box.
Do not add offers or news to this email. Use the same sender name as your app, so people trust it, and keep the link short-lived.
Between 15 minutes and 24 hours. Shorter is safer. Say the time limit in the email.
Codes work well for apps, where people switch between the email and the app. Use a large, monospace code that is easy to read.
Tell them they can ignore the email, and give a link to contact support or secure the account.
