Legacy Forgot Username

RapidIdentity Cloud provides two options to configure as an administrator for users who have forgotten their username. Legacy and Enhanced. We recommend you use the Enhanced method.

Legacy Forgot Username Behavior

Using the Legacy Method, users who have forgotten their username can select the Need help? link on the Login Page to retrieve it.

Note:

Do note that any HTML/CSS alterations made to the Legacy Forgot Username web template found in (Configuration -> General -> Templates -> Web Templates) will only affect the Legacy Forgot Username web page, NOT the enhanced Forgot Username web page.
