Hey @ChristinaC,

Thanks for the video.
You’ve missed one critical part (what is on the “Sign up” button on a Sign Up screen). Though I still can see some options to explore.

  1. In order to get rid of multiple Sign Up buttons (which is a list of users), you need to select this list, make group out of it, make this group conditionally visible only if email input is not equal to empty.
    Reason: when the value filter for the list is empty (no email entered) → the list displays all items. This is a default Adalo behaviour for several months already.

  2. On the “Complete” button on New Password screen, the first action you have is Update Logged-in User, setting the password.
    The issue is that there is no logged in user at this moment. You need to update a password for current user.
    NB: Adalo won’t allow you to do it unless you change the corresponding Collection Permisson settings.

  3. I am not sure that update password for current user and then immediate login (as a next action) will work; maybe there won’t be enough time to proceed with update. But this needs to be tested.

  4. In my opinion, subsequent problems are related to the fact that you don’t have logged-in user in the subsequent screens.

  5. You may have a look at this video Adalo tutorials: multistep customised password reset. ATTENTION - IMPORTANT UPDATES in description. - YouTube. It is quite old but you’re trying to implement something similar, so it can be useful for you.

  6. I really hope that you didn’t rename built-in 4 properties in Users collection (email, password, username, full name) and you’re using correct original property (email) for a login. Otherwise I can’t even imagine which glitches you may have :slight_smile:.

Best,
Victor.
