Feature Request: Self-Service Password Reset for TARGIT Standard Security

Requets: Add a self-service password reset option to the login page for environments using TARGIT Standard Security (built-in TARGIT authentication).

Business Need

When using TARGIT Standard Security, administrators are responsible for manually resetting user passwords. User accounts now require an email address during account creation, creating an opportunity to support self-service password recovery.

Today, forgotten passwords generate administrative work and can delay user access. A self-service reset process would improve the user experience while reducing support overhead.

Requested Functionality

Provide a "Forgot Password?" or "Reset Password" link on the login page.

When selected, the user would:

1. Enter their username or email address.
2. Receive a password reset email to the email address on file for that user name/ email address
3. Follow a secure link to create a new password.

The solution could leverage the email infrastructure already configured for report distribution or use a separate email configuration if required.

Benefits

• Reduces manual password reset requests for administrators.
• Improves user experience and user independence.
• Decreases support and maintenance effort.
• Aligns TARGIT Standard Security with common authentication experiences found in modern applications.
• Allows users to regain access immediately without waiting for administrator intervention.

Ideal outcome: Users authenticated through TARGIT Standard Security can securely reset their own passwords from the login page using the email address associated with their account, eliminating most administrator-driven password reset activities.
