passwords.discovery.resetByEmailStart wraps the Reset By Email Discovery 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

email_address

string

required

The email address of the Member.

reset_password_redirect_url

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.

discovery_redirect_url

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.

reset_password_expiration_minutes

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.

reset_password_template_id

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 using our built-in customization options or custom HTML templates with type “Passwords - Reset Password”.

Response

request_id

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.

status_code

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.
