Reset your {{productName}} password

{{productName}}

Reset your password

Hi {{firstName}},

Use the button below to choose a new password for your {{productName}} account.

Choose a new password [{{resetUrl}}]

Or paste this link into your browser:

{{resetUrl}}

This link expires in {{expiryMinutes}} minutes and can be used once. If you did not ask to reset your password, ignore this email and nothing will change.

Sent because a password reset was requested for this address. Nobody at {{productName}} will ever ask you for this link.

Shown with sample values. The HTML and plain-text tabs keep the placeholders.
