If a user forgets their password then a password notification email is sent containing enough information for the user to access their account computing account again. This method of password retrieval relies on the assumption that only the legitimate owner of the account has access to the inbox for that particular email address. The process is often initiated by the user clicking on a forgotten password link on the website where, after entering their username or email address, the password notification email would be automatically sent to the inbox of the account holder.
