# Discovery Reset by Email Start

> Start discovery password reset by email using the Stytch React Native SDK

`passwords.discovery.resetByEmailStart` wraps the [Reset By Email Discovery Start](/docs/api-reference/b2b/api/passwords/create-or-reset-options/discovery-password-reset-by-email-start) Password API endpoint. If this method succeeds, an email will be sent to the provided email address with a link to reset the password.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="email_address" type="string" required>
  The email address of the Member.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="reset_password_redirect_url" type="string">
  The URL that the Member clicks from the reset password link. This URL should be an endpoint in the backend server that verifies the request by querying Stytch's authenticate endpoint and finishes the reset password flow. If this value is not passed, the default `reset_password_redirect_url` that you set in your Dashboard is used. If you have not set a default `reset_password_redirect_url`, an error is returned.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="discovery_redirect_url" type="string">
  The URL that the end user clicks from the discovery Magic Link. This URL should be an endpoint in the backend server that verifies the request by querying Stytch's discovery authenticate endpoint and continues the flow. If this value is not passed, the default discovery redirect URL that you set in your Dashboard is used. If you have not set a default discovery redirect URL, an error is returned.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="reset_password_expiration_minutes" type="number">
  Sets a time limit after which the email link to reset the member's password will no longer be valid. The minimum allowed expiration is 5 minutes and the maximum is 10080 minutes (7 days). By default, the expiration is 30 minutes.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="reset_password_template_id" type="string">
  Use a custom template for reset password emails. By default, it will use your default email template. Templates can be added in the [Stytch dashboard](https://stytch.com/dashboard/templates) using our built-in customization options or custom HTML templates with type “Passwords - Reset Password”.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="request_id" type="string">
  Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we
  may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="status_code" type="number">
  The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values
  equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.
</ResponseField>
