Docs:

  • A user who lost/forgot their password can use this function to reset and send a new PIN to their phone.
  • User can then log in using phone# and new PIN, regaining access to account, and may then change password to something meaningful.
  • The PIN or password created and sent by this method can be used immediately to authenticate to TextMarks. See the RegisteredUser.login() method.
  • The API Key may optionally provide context for templatizing the SMS messages sent.
  • This call may only be made on a user 2 times in a 24hr period, else error #2022 (ERR_REQUEST_OVER_LIMIT).
  • If a user has never authenticated to TextMarks, they are considered unregistered and will result in error #2012 (ERR_REQUEST_INVALID_USER). In these situations you should use Anybody.register_user() instead.
