Simple Feature: Password Reset

Feature PRD: Password Reset

This is a real-world example of a simple feature PRD that you can use as a reference.

1. Metadata

Project: Auth Overhaul v1.2
Feature: Password Reset Flow
Author: John Doe (PM)
Status: Approved

2. Objective & Problem

Problem: Currently, users who forget their passwords must contact support to get a temporary password. This is causing a high volume of support tickets (accounting for 30% of all queries) and frustrating users with long wait times.

Goal: Implement a secure, self-serve password reset flow via email so users can regain access to their accounts within 2 minutes, without human intervention.

3. Scope

In-Scope

  • "Forgot Password" link on Login screen.
  • Email generation with secure, time-limited token link.
  • New password entry screen with strength validation.
  • Confirmation email upon successful reset.

× Out-of-Scope

  • SMS-based password reset (planned for v2).
  • Security questions.
  • Forced password reset for expired accounts.

5. User Flow

1. Click "Forgot
Password"
2. Enter Email
3. Secure Link
(Valid 15 mins)
4. Set Password
