# Triggering a password reset for another user

## Introduction

If you are a user with an [administrator or manager role](/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-summary.md), you can trigger a password reset email for other users in your company.&#x20;

When this is done, a reset email is sent to the email address for the user, containing a reset link. Password reset links are valid for 24 hours. After this, another password reset must be triggered so a new link is emailed.&#x20;

The company user can use the 'forgot password' option from the [Patchworks login page](https://app.wearepatchworks.com/login) to trigger their own password reset email:\
