Overview

Adding a password reset option to Glide requires focusing on crucial parts to maintain security and user ease. Glide shines in the no-code app space and provides multiple ways to handle user logins and password help. Normally, you'll need to create user profiles, use email services to send reset links, and make sure there's a strong verification method before users choose a new password. Knowing what Glide offers and maybe using third-party tools will be key to making a secure and easy-to-use password reset system.

How to implement a password reset feature in Glide?

Step 1: Open Glide App

Head over to your Glide app dashboard and open up the project where you want to add the password reset feature.

Step 2: Create User Profile Sheet

Make sure you have a Google Sheet set up as your user profile sheet. This should have columns for user email, current password, and any other important user info.

Step 3: Add Forgot Password Button

In the app builder, go to the login screen. Add a button labeled "Forgot Password". This button will kick off the password reset process.

Step 4: Set Up Password Reset Screen

Create a new screen called "Password Reset". Add input fields for the user to enter their email and a new password. Also, add a submit button labeled "Reset Password".

Step 5: Configure Reset Logic

Go to the 'Actions' settings for the "Reset Password" button:

  • Set the action to an "Increment Action".
  • Create a new action sequence where the email entered by the user is searched in your user profile sheet.
  • Once the email matches a user profile, update the corresponding password in your Google Sheet with the new password provided.

Step 6: Integrate Email Verification

To boost security, add an email verification step:

  • Use Glide API or a third-party email service to send a verification email.
  • Include a custom URL in the email that takes the user back to the Password Reset screen, confirming their identity.

Step 7: Add Feedback Notifications

Add text components to give users feedback:

  • Notify users if the email they entered does not exist in the database.
  • Confirm successful password resets.

Step 8: Test the Workflow

Test the entire password reset workflow to make sure it works as expected:

  • Test scenarios include what happens when an email is not found, successful password resets, and email verification checks.

Step 9: Publish and Notify Users

Once everything is working, publish your Glide app updates. Let your users know about the new password reset feature through app notifications or email.

Step 10: Maintain Security

Regularly review and update your password reset process to keep it secure. Implement measures like rate limiting on the reset requests and constantly review security logs for any unusual activity.
