NAME
RT::Extension::ResetPassword - add "forgot your password?" link to RT
instance
DESCRIPTION
This extension for RT adds a new "Forgot your password?" link to the
front of your RT instance. Any user can request that RT send them a
password reset token by email. RT will send the user a one-time URL
which he or she can use to reset her password. This extension allows
only users that already have passwords reset their passwords by email.
There isn't yet an option to only allow privileged or unpriviliged users
to reset their passwords.
