# Password Reset

**Authelia** provides a workflow to let users reset their password when they lose it.
To disable reset password functionality please see the [configuration docs](../configuration/authentication/index.md#disable_reset_password).

A simple click on `Reset password?` for starting the process. Note that resetting a
password requires a new identity verification using the e-mail of the user.
