/reset-password is the third and final step of the password-reset flow. After you have verified the 6-digit OTP, you choose a new password here. The session that authorised the reset is stored in sessionStorage and cleared the moment you submit successfully.

What to do if your reset session expires

Section titled “What to do if your reset session expires”

The reset token lives in sessionStorage, so it disappears when:

  • You close the browser tab.
  • You open the page in another tab.
  • More than 15 minutes pass between Verify OTP and Reset password.

To recover: open /forgot-password and request a fresh code.
