Generate Reset Password Token for Customer

POST

/auth/customer/{auth_provider}/reset-password

Generate a reset password token for a customer. This API route doesn't reset the customer password or send them the reset instructions in a notification.

Instead, This API route emits the auth.password_reset event, passing it the token as a payload. You can listen to that event in a subscriber as explained in this guide, then send the customer a notification. The notification is sent using a Notification Module Provider, and it should have a URL that accepts a token query parameter, allowing the customer to reset their password from the storefront.

Use the generated token to update the customer's password using the Reset Password API route.
