### Discussed in https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/discussions/9212
Originally posted by **roughnecks** August 16, 2026
Hello,
a person using my instance asked why FreshRSS hasn't got any way for users to reset their own password by mail link, as most of public services do offer..
So yeah, I'm asking you, since I don't have an answer.
Thanks

Research direction
Start with the linked discussion 9212 to understand the requested password-reset behavior and unresolved requirements. Then locate FreshRSS's existing password and email flows. Done should be defined by a user being able to request a reset by email and use the link to set a new password, with the relevant edge cases agreed in the discussion.
