Password reset flows in No-Code - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Password Reset Flows

📖 Scenario: You are helping a website improve its user experience by designing a clear and simple password reset flow. This flow helps users who forgot their password to regain access safely.

🎯 Goal: Build a step-by-step password reset flow that includes user input, verification, and password update steps.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a list of steps involved in a password reset flow

Add a variable to track if the user has verified their identity

Use a loop or sequence to simulate moving through the reset steps

Complete the flow by confirming the password has been reset

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Password reset flows are essential for user account security and usability on websites and apps.

💼 Career

Understanding password reset flows helps in roles like UX design, product management, and software development focused on user authentication.

1

Create the password reset steps list

Create a list called reset_steps with these exact steps in order: 'Enter email', 'Receive code', 'Verify code', 'Set new password', 'Confirm reset'.

No-Code

# Create the list reset_steps with the exact steps
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use square brackets to create a list and include all steps as strings in the correct order.

2

Add verification status variable

Create a variable called is_verified and set it to False to track if the user has verified their identity.

No-Code

reset_steps = ['Enter email', 'Receive code', 'Verify code', 'Set new password', 'Confirm reset']
# Create the variable is_verified and set it to False
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a simple assignment to create a boolean variable.

3

Simulate going through reset steps

Use a for loop with the variable step to go through each item in reset_steps. Inside the loop, add an if statement that sets is_verified = True when step is 'Verify code'.

No-Code

reset_steps = ['Enter email', 'Receive code', 'Verify code', 'Set new password', 'Confirm reset']
is_verified = False
# Loop through reset_steps and update is_verified when step is 'Verify code'
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a for loop and an if condition to check the current step and update the verification status.

4

Complete the password reset flow

After the loop, create a variable called reset_complete and set it to True only if is_verified is True. This confirms the password reset process is finished.

No-Code

reset_steps = ['Enter email', 'Receive code', 'Verify code', 'Set new password', 'Confirm reset']
is_verified = False
for step in reset_steps:
    if step == 'Verify code':
        is_verified = True
# Set reset_complete to True if is_verified is True
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a simple comparison to set the final reset_complete variable.
