Before you ship6 checks
  1. 01Place reset link close to password field — styled as a link to show it is clickable
  2. 02Ask for account details to verify — usually the email address, because it identifies the account and is the channel the link is sent to
  3. 03Show information has been sent — explain how they can continue, and send the email for the next step
  4. 04The message sent explains next steps — for example a link to a page that allows the user to reset their password
  5. 05Reset the password — behind the verification code or link, a clear text field to enter a new password
  6. 06Password successfully reset — indicate success and push their momentum back to their initial intent: logging in
