About this template
The shortest possible password reset email for a web or mobile app. Every line has a job, and there is one action only.
A small dark wordmark sits top left on a white panel over a pale grey page. A bold question headline, Reset your password?, makes the purpose clear, and one sentence tells people they can ignore the email if they did not ask for it.
A rounded blue button changes the password. A thin line separates the action from a small support note that invites a reply.
Use it as is for any product. Link the button to a short lived reset page and say how long the link works if you want to add one more line.
Use it in your email tool
- Click Copy HTML, or download the .html file.
- In Mailchimp, Brevo, HubSpot or Klaviyo, start a new email with the custom HTML or code editor and paste it in.
- Change the text, links and images. Map merge tags such as {{first_name}} and {{unsubscribe_url}} to the tags of your tool.
- Send a test to yourself on desktop and phone before you send it to your list.
