Password reset

Email confirmation​

Yucca 0.10.0 added the ability to reset a password by confirming ownership of an email address. For this, the user must have a real e-mail address and a configured mail client on the server.

ResetPassword1

Command line​

If the mail client is not configured, you can reset the password of any user, including the administrator, from the command line:

/opt/yucca/yucca admin change-password --config=/opt/yucca/yucca.toml --password <NEW_PASSWDORD>

If you're not using a configuration file, specify your own database connection options. You can see the connection parameters in the help output:

/opt/yucca/yucca admin change-password --help
