Introduction

In the digital world, a smooth password reset flow can make or break user retention. This project reimagined the process to deliver a seamless, secure, and frustration-free experience. The result? A system that recruiters will see as the gold standard for UX precision and creativity

High Drop-Offs: Users abandon confusing or lengthy flows.
