Info
titleCharacteristics of the reset password link

Following measures have been taken to ensure a very high level of security:

  • The link is valid during 48 hours. Once the link is expired, the internet user will have to click again on FORGOTTEN YOUR PASSWORD? in order to get a new link.
  • A link can only be used once
  • The link is protected against forgery by means of a digital signature. In other words, a dishonest internet user has no chance to reset the password of another contact by modifying the link.
