The Password Recovery DataPage is an automated system for DataPage users to recover their passwords by email.

After a user of a deployed Password Recovery DataPage submits valid identifying information to a deployed Password Recovery DataPage, Caspio Bridge retrieves the password and sends it to them via a customized email.

The Password Recovery DataPage Wizard guides you through designing a user verification form, specifying a destination page or message, and customizing the content of the automatically generated password reminder email.
