Questions

Hi all,

What would be the best way to get a reset password link in B2B? Say, my user forgot their password and wants to reset it.

Thanks,
Udi

Hey Udi – thanks for posting!

I think the Password reset email start endpoint is probably what you’re looking for.

That endpoint will send an email to the user’s email address with a “Reset password” button. When they click the button, they’ll be redirected back to your application with a token that they can use to reset their password via the Password email reset endpoint.

Happy to help if you have any additional questions about this!

Hey Nicole,

I’m getting strange errors when I try this. The error complains I need to have a redirect-url - I do have one set up. Regardless, I’m not sure I understand why that’s needed for the purpose of a password reset? so I’m completely unsure what I need to do to make this work. I would be grateful for any advice on how to make this work.

Thanks,
Udi

This is what I’m running

client = B2BClient(
    project_id="...",
    secret="...",
)

resp = client.passwords.email.reset_start(
    organization_id="...",
    email_address="...",
)

and this is what I’m getting

StytchError: status_code=400 request_id=‘request-id-test-3fe36fb5-2054-46ed-8a34-ad7421ad8074’ error_type=‘no_login_redirect_url’ error_message=‘There are no login redirect URLs registered.

Heya Udi, our password reset emails also include a link to login without resetting your password; a smoother path to sign in for a lot of users. You can check out what they look like in the Email editor in the Dashboard: https://stytch.com/dashboard/templates

So when you send off a password reset email, you’ll need a login_redirect_url set on your Project.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the very quick response! I see what the issue was - while I did set a login_redirect_url in the project, I didn’t do this on the default project. Once I did that it works. Thanks for the help!
