Notes​

Sends a reset request to an email address.

When the user clicks the reset link in the email they will be forwarded to:

<SITE_URL>#access_token=x&refresh_token=y&expires_in=z&token_type=bearer&type=recovery

Your app must detect type=recovery in the fragment and display a password reset form to the user.

You should then use the access_token in the url and new password to update the user as follows:

const { error, data } = await supabase.auth.api
      .updateUser(access_token, { password : new_password })

Examples​
