Reset password for users
Overview
If a user forgets their password or can't sign in to Zoho One, you can reset their password to help them regain access. After the reset, the user will receive an email containing a one-time password, which they can use to set a new password. This process ensures secure and uninterrupted access to their account.
You cannot reset passwords for Zoho One Organization Owners or external users.
