If a user (member) clicks the forgot password link, then they obviously get an email with a link for them to reset their password etc. I dont mean the email for Admins etc, I mean for front end users.
At the moment, it's an awful plain text mess, and I'm hoping just to tidy it up, even if only a little.
it depends a bit on which version of Umbraco you're using. If you've updated to the latest version of Umbraco you'll have a nice and shiny HTML email. If you have a bit of an older version maybe not.
In either way; if you go to the language file of your Umbraco-installation (\Umbraco\Config\Lang\en.xml for example) you will find a key named resetPasswordEmailCopySubject and resetPasswordEmailCopyFormat. If you change these, touch the web.config and send the mail again it will work.
In the latest version the content of the key 'resetPasswordEmailCopyFormat' is
Forgot Password Email Template
Hi Everyone,
Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as adding a template to the forgot password email is concerned?
At the moment it's an awful plain text email, and I'd like to add some corporate branding etc.

Hi,
As far as I'm aware this is not standard Umbraco functionality. Do you have a package installed or some custom code?
Have you seen this tutorial? It's a bit skeletony in places but sends html emails and allows you to configure them in Umbraco.

Hope this is an answer to your question!
This works great, except I can't put a custom logo in the email.
I tried changing this to another logo on my server and it doesn't show up, just the background color.
Umbraco 12.3.3
The logo doesn't come through, and if I update the URL for the logo to something in my site, it still doesn't come through...
is working on a reply...
