Expired reset links are easy to fix — request a new one and use it within the hour. The expiry is a security feature, not an obstacle.
01 Why links expire
Reset links are short-lived for security. An expired link can't be exploited if it leaks via a copied email or an old browser tab. One hour is long enough to act on, short enough to be safe.
02 Requesting a new one
- 1Visit /forgot-password
Or click "Forgot password" on the login screen.
- 2Enter your email
Same one as before.
- 3Wait for the new email
Arrives within a minute. The new link is valid for another hour.
- 4Click the new link
The old one is now invalid — only the latest works.
03 Use it within the hour
Open the link as soon as you see the email. Don't leave the tab open for hours and come back later — by then it'll have expired and you'll have to start over.
