Hello,

I want to tell okta to recovery email for my user, how cn I do that?

This is my flow in my application:

• The user click forgot link  
• I show him a form to insert his email address  
• THIS IS THE IMPORTANT: I receive such email and I send to okta the request to reset my user’s email  
• OKTA receives my request and then sends and email to my user

This is the flow. Can you please tell me how can I send the reset password endpoint to Okta?

I use java as backend programming language.

Thank you,

Are you asking about the `/api/v1/users/${userId}/lifecycle/reset_password` endpoint?
