RESET_PASSWORD_URL default not working and override also

[mihaa1]

Reset password email - link to the reset password is

app.url/?token=123

and not

app.url/reset-password/?token=123

I tried setting the env var also and that didn't work.

@mihaa1 can you share env variable value and some reproducible steps
Thanks

I tried using local instance and prod on railway.
Initially /reset-password was good for me - I create a page with this path in my app, without setting the RESET_PASSWORD_URL env var.

But I saw the link from the email points to app.url?token=123 and not app.url/reset-password/?token=123
Then I tried setting it in the .env in the local instance and in env vars in railway on production instance.
Both didn't work.

I'm trying to understand whether I'm missing something and this env var is not supposed to do what I think.

@mihaa1 so this is how the reset password URL is decided

priority 1: if redirect_uri passed as param to forgot_password
priority 2: if RESET_PASSWORD_URL is set in env (Note: this should be full URL https://some_frontend_app.url/...
priority 3: if none of the above is set we use the default app reset-password /app/reset-password prefixed with your authorizer instance URL

1. where does redirect_uri passed? Im using the react sdk and the full component. The component controls the forgot password
2. setting RESET_PASSWORD_URL=http://localhost:5173/login is not working. The email is sent with the link http://localhost:5173?token=123

This is happening because of the react-sdk
let me add prop there in react SDK for this 👍
I suppose you are using Authorizer component right?

I suppose you are using Authorizer component right?

YES!
thank u!

But why isn't it working when setting the env var?

@mihaa1 after digging more into the code, I found a possibility where you can do this
Just add redirect_uri in your URL when rendering <Authorizer> component

example https://localhost:8080/forgot-password?redirect_uri='https://abc.com/reset-password'
