Adding password reset

Adding password reset comprises of following steps:

1. Creating forgot password page

FlutterFlow provides a collection of templates for password reset pages. You can either choose from the templates or create from scratch.

  • Click on the Select Page or Component from the Navigation Menu (left side of your screen).
  • Click on + Create New, Give it a name.
  • Click on the + Create New button under the Blank Page template.
  • Click on the Widget Tree from the Navigation Menu.
  • Add the Column widget from the Layout Elements tab (in the Widget Panel) or add it directly from the widget tree.
  • Add the TextField widget inside the Column and change its Hint Text to the Enter Registered Email.
  • Add the Button widget below the TextField and change its Text (Under Button Text section) to Send Reset Link.
