fnmt8 (fnmt8) asked a question.

self service password reset is not working for a particular user

I have a newer user that does not get emails to reset their password, either to their OKTA account email or their secondary. I have a test user account that I use in the org to 'test things' and that OKTA account does get password reset emails. They are both configured identical in OKTA

    Hello @fnmt8 (fnmt8)​ , thank you for contacting Okta Community.

     

    Your new user may want to check the spam folder, the publicity folder, and any rules or filters they may have in their inbox. If they are using a spam-filtering app, it is also worth checking there.

     

    As an admin, you can check the user's logs. From the Admin dashboard, go under Directory, under People, and look up the affected user. On their profile, underneath their name, choose View Logs. This will display only the logs of this user so you can take a look at their entire activity. See if you can find whether the emails are being generated from Okta.

     

    Another possible pain point could be the email address on the user's profile. Ensure that the primary (and, if applicable, the secondary) address is correct.

     

    If you need more personalized assistance and you have a paid account, you can open a ticket here.

     

    Regards.
