User Accounts for Which Their Passwords Cannot Be Reset

Even when the self-service password reset is enabled, users cannot reset their password of their account if any of the following conditions are met.

  • No e-mail address is set in the user information.
  • The e-mail address is also used for other accounts.
  • kintone.com is the only way for the user to receive e-mail.
