Forgot & reset password

Deep links: plaum://forgot-password · plaum://reset-password Requires an account? You need an existing one to reset.


How you get here: Forgot password? on the login screen.

Reset your password

Enter the email tied to your account and we'll send a reset link.

One field — Email (you@example.com) — and a Send reset link button, with Back to sign in underneath.

Outcome Message
Malformed email Enter a valid email address.
Request accepted If that email exists, we sent a password reset link.
Request failed Unable to start password reset.

Note the deliberate wording of the success case: "If that email exists". The app never confirms whether an address is registered — that would let anyone probe for valid accounts. You get the same message either way.


Part 2 — Setting the new password

How you get here: by opening the link in the email, which deep-links into plaum://reset-password carrying a code or token hash.

Create a new password

Pick a new password for your account and you will be signed back in right after.

Field Notes
New password At least 8 characters.
Confirm password Must match exactly.

Then Update password.

Outcome Message
Under 8 characters Password must be at least 8 characters.
The two fields differ Passwords do not match.
Success Password updated. You are signed in.
Server refused Unable to reset password.

Missing reset details Open the password reset link from your email again.

This happens if the screen is reached directly rather than through the emailed link — the code or token hash is missing, so there is nothing to authorise the change. The fix is always to re-open the link from the email.


Good to know

You are signed in automatically once the reset succeeds — there is no second trip through the login screen. That is why the body copy promises "you will be signed back in right after".


Where you go next

Straight into the app. Back to sign in on either screen returns you to Log in.
