Hello Appwrite team, we sincerely need an option to do password recovery without the required url.

@Binyamin

TL;DR
User is requesting a password recovery solution without using a URL. They mention trying a suggested solution but also express difficulty without a tutorial. They request the development team to make it easier. Another user suggests creating a feature request for this functionality. The user explains that this feature would be helpful for mobile apps because users can stay within the app while going through the recovery process. The user asks for an official feature instead of a workaround. A user provides a workaround solution and shares two links for further information. There is a final message addressed to the Appwrite team requesting an option for password recovery without the need for a URL.

@Binyamin thankyou for the solution. But could you please request the developers to bring out such an official feature. I am sure it would be a piece of cake for them.

Why do you need this and how would you do the password recovery flow?

@Steven i mean, users can click I forgot my password. And enter their email. Then the user gets an email with secret code. Then the user just comes back to the app puts the secret code and new password and done. They can login again with their email and new password. No need of url in the whole thing.

They keep the app minimised while they get their secret code

For now, id recommend doing this yourself using a custom collection of codes and functions. One function would create a secret code and send an email to the user. Another function can be used to validate the code and update the password

Thankyou @Steven that indeed is a sleek idea. But I struggle to do amything without a learning from a tutorial first. Hence I posted the issue. I hope the team would make it easy.
