I’m using **https://{domain}/api/v1/users/{userID}/lifecycle/reset\_password?sendEmail=false** above url for getting reset password link and when I’m loading it in browser I’m able to reset the password , however after resetting the password its redirecting to okta dashboard. I need to redirect to custom URL. It would be helpful if I get solution on this.

Hello,  
If you are using an Okta Classic Org the officially supported way is to set a default application,  
[https://help.okta.com/en-us/Content/Topics/Settings/settings-redirect-to-custom-page.htm](https://help.okta.com/en-us/Content/Topics/Settings/settings-redirect-to-custom-page.htm)

It is also possible to use the query parameter fromURI in many cases.  
Note that `fromURI` is not officially supported and the functionality could change at a later time.  
Whatever URI you use make sure it is set as a trusted origin in your Okta Org.  
so for,  
`https://{domain}.okta.com/reset_password/drpj62pPwZGJ12345678?fromURI=https://www.epo.org`  
make sure `https://www.epo.org` is setup as a redirect URI in trusted origins.

Hi Erik,

Currently when new user tries to reset password from URL with from Uri appended https://{domain}.okta.com/reset\_password/drpj62pPwZGJ12345678?fromURI=[https://www.epo.org](https://www.epo.org) , initially user is taken to welcome page where its asking to answer security question and update phone number once that’s done on click of create account instead of taking to reset password screen it takes user to from Uri URL, is there any way to bypass this? it would be very helpful if I get solution on this
