I'm afraid not, it's hardcoded so would require a code change (if you're confident in doing that let me know and i'll pull out the necessary change(s) for you)- please feel free to log an enhancement request to make it configurable (ideally via community voice so we can see if there is a demand for it), but it might be an idea to let you users know they can make their own reset requests rather than up the limit and potentially forget to set it back (which would be a bad thing from a security perspective)

I need to make this change as well. My client requires the password reset link to be valid for at least 2 weeks.  I can make the code changes if someone could point me in the right direction it might save me several hours.

Hi Chris,

With Cathal's help, the team discussed this, but decided to not implement this recommendation. I may mis-translate it, but my understanding was that it could create confusion for people because they could request a password and have it become invalid before the receive it. That would happen if you had the reset timeout window set to 120 minutes, and somebody requested another email after 115 minutes.

Personally, I would think that the window could just be extended once before the new link is generated, or allow multiple tokens to be active simultaneously (which might already be the case). But, I wasn't there for the discussion and I'm sure there are some good arguments on that side.

In any case, you could set the reset window to a very long time - that's in the host settings - and is slightly different from the discussion here.

Hope this helps,

Mike

There are two different password reset expiration periods - one is for resets initiated by the user (i.e. on the login screen) - as Mike says this is configurable in host settings. The second expiration is for when an admin/host reset's a users password - as the user may not be expecting that to happen the period is longer. At present it's hardcoded as 24hrs (I've no problem making it configurable but I don't recall someone logging it in jira yet).

If you want to change the admin reset expiration you'll have to edit   DesktopModules\Admin\Security\Password.ascx.cs - look for the following and change the 1440 to your desired value (it's in minutes)

//create resettoken valid for 24hrs

 UserController.ResetPasswordToken(User,1440);
