When an Associate requests to reset their password, they receive an email with the reset instructions. This email looks something like this:

You can customize this email’s content without knowing any HTML. That’s possible because each snippet of text is actually a localization String Key that stores the text value for each language. For more information on how localization works in the system, see Web Office Localization.

To provide some context for how these keys are used, the following is an example of the HTML code for the Reset Password email:

  string mailBody = string.Format(@"

  <p>
      reset_password_username <br />
      Reset_password_follow_link <br />
      <a href='resetLink'>Reset_link_label</a>
  </p>

  <p>
      <b>Link_valid_one_hour</b>
  </p>

  <p>
      Continue_have_trouble_logging
  </p>

  string subject = $@"Password_reset_instructions - {CompanyInfo.CompanyName}";

Although, you don’t have access to this HTML, you can still customize the text by modifying the text value for each String Key.
