Learn more about resetting people's passwords in MinistryPlatform, including password requirements and how to create a direct link for people to reset their passwords.

Password Requirements

Passwords must meet the requirements listed in MinistryPlatform. This helps keep your MinistryPlatform data secure. For more information on password requirements, including best practices and how to set the password complexity requirement for your church, see Password Requirements.

Create a Direct Link to Reset a Password

Send a link that takes people directly to the reset password screen in MinistryPlatform.

You can create a link that skips the login screen and points people directly to reset their password. You might send them this link if they have trouble logging in.

  1. To direct people to reset their password, add ministryplatformapi/oauth/reset to the end of your MinistryPlatform URL.
    https://example-church.ministryplatform.net/ministryplatformapi/oauth/reset
  2. Send the link to the person who requested it.

When someone clicks the link, they go directly to the reset password screen.
