I’ve tried workarounds but it still doesn’t seem to update the user’s password when logging in a second time.

Hi @jonafied 👋 👋

You can read this conversation.

> Adalo has a great built-in procedure to reset user passwords. But sometimes this may not be enough. In this video I show how to create a customised workflow for password reset: this is done using one-time random code sent to user’s email. The video is quite long (almost 19 mins), so please be patient and enjoy slight_smile[[Adalo tutorials: multistep customised password reset.

In this conversation Victor has did a video. This will help you.

Or you can add a button and add a action in more \> user login \> forgot password. Then it’s automatically doing by Adalo.

Thank you 😇

Or add a screen and add a form and set that to update logged in user and the fields are only the password and add another screen and add another form and set that to update logged in user and then add the fields without the password ( Email, Name, Username,etc).

So first screen with the form is to update the logged in user password.  
And the second screen with the form is to update the logged in user details without the password.(other details)

Thank you 😊

@Dilon - I tried this option and it keeps saying the password is not valid. Do you have screenshots I can see?

@Dilon - I also tried the default reset password from Adalo and it sends a temporary password but it doesn’t update the user to be able to login.

This is the default forgot password button from Adalo. It sends a temp password but you have to click on forgot password again after inputting your info to take you to the reset password view. But, the new password won’t work to log you in.

It can’t happened . If not working the best is to [submit support ticket](https://info.adalo.com/submit-a-support-ticket).

And Jona,

Copy the temporary password correctly and full password and then paste it on the password field and click login and create the new password.

If you did these things and not working create a new one from custom actions.Or if you want to do it from this way and not working [submit a support ticket](https://info.adalo.com/submit-a-support-ticket).
