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.
