If requesting a password reset and no recovery email is received, it's likely to be as a result of the system being unable to identify the account based on the details provided.

  1. Rule out the possibility that a username or employee number should be used instead of the email address or vice versa.

  2. This can occur if users are mislead with the wording of the password recovery pop-up message.

    πŸ€“Tip: The password recovery messaging can be updated in the language pack. Search for the narrative currently displayed when requesting a reset.

  3. If the employee has a special character in their email address, check the format of this. For example, an apostrophe can vary depending on the keyboard's regional settings in use when entering the address.
