< p > ENiGMA½ uses email to send password reset information to users.

Nodemailer supports SMTP in addition to many pre-defined services for ease of use. The < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > transport< / code > block within < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > email< / code > must be Nodemailer compatible.< / p >

< p > If email is available on your system and you allow email-driven password resets, you may elect to allow unlocking accounts at the time of a password reset. This is controlled by the < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > users.unlockAtEmailPwReset< / code > configuration option. If an account is locked due to too many failed login attempts, a user may reset their password to remedy the situation themselves.< / p >
