Show HN: Recover – Simple password recovery API
- KevinMcGovern 10y agoHey everyone, Recover is a side project I’ve been working on to make it faster and easier to implement secure password recovery by reducing it to an API call. Working in the agency world, I have to implement “forgot my password” functionality pretty frequently. While the backend code can be copy/pasted between projects, things like emailing services, frontend implementation, and domain authentication cannot be reused. However: What if you don’t have or need an emailing service for anything beyond password recovery? What if you don’t have a domain? What if you don’t have a website? What if the client doesn’t want to provide you with registrar access? These are just some of the situations I’ve encountered which made adding password recovery more complicated and time-consuming than it should have been. Recover is a backend-only implementation of password recovery. We handle sending the email, and we securely collect the user’s new password and send it to your server. It takes 5-10 minutes to set up. I would love to get some feedback, either on here or at kevin@authentimate.com. Thanks!
