WTH Why can’t I do a password reset when I forget my HASS password?

I don’t agree, the WTH still stands IMO.

Why can’t I do a password reset when I forget my HASS password?

With 0.115+ you can easily reset passwords for other users, and there is a CLI option for owners to use.

So far, so good :+1:

But we have the person integration now, that ties a user and a device tracker (usually a phone).

Most phone trackers also have push capabilities, there must be a way that we can securely request a password change by utilizing that route?

Ah ok, makes sense. Open it is. EDIT: I’ll remove the solution then too.
