Overview
This node interacts with Payload CMS to perform various authentication-related operations, specifically including resetting a user's password. It is useful in scenarios where automated workflows need to manage user authentication, such as resetting passwords via tokens received from password reset emails. For example, it can be used to reset a user's password securely by providing a reset token and a new password.
Use Case Examples
