    I noticed that there was no function to request a new password with the username/password login.

    Users that forget passwords can't retrieve their account?

    Did I miss something?

    You have to implement it yourself.

    How? Because the accounts are from unity, do I even have access to account using their API?

    I thought username/password was white label so its for you to implement yourself.

    if you want that use email/password to sign in with unity

    It's the username/password login method, there is no email/password, neither a recovery function to reset the password

    Ohh, I think I understand, I was talking about the username/password login type, not the unity account type.
    With UnityAccounts yes you have a forgot password, but not with username/password, you can change the password but the user have to be logged.

    Yeah. I see what your saying. I guess you can just have a support button and have the user email you? I don’t think there is a built in way.

    Yea it's the only way I think, but even with what, on the user end I don't think there is a way to reset the password on the dashboard
