Password Recovery page

The Password Recovery page is a portal page that will be opened when a portal member is trying to recover their password. When a portal member clicks the Forgot your password? link on the login page, they receive a notification email with a link to the Password Recovery page where they will be able to reset the password and specify a new one. The body of the email notification is configurable in the Password Recover page settings.
