-For now, identity email or login are supported and admin can use configuration property to select which of these (or both) can be used. User then confirms password reset request by clicking on submit button. CzechIdM then generates validation token and stores it in password reset request along with time of creation. Validation token is then being sent to user via notification. Administrator can edit the notification using standard CzechIdM notification functionality. Notification is sent to topic "passwordResetRequestCreated" with SUCCESS level.

-By default, the "Password generate" form displays all end system accounts, but password **will not** be provisioned to the end system accounts. So remember to add the event type ''PASSWORD\_GENERATE'' to the configuration property ''idm.sec.acc.processor.identity-password-provisioning-processor.eventTypes'' (as written above) to avoid confusion.
