Summary

Makes the "Forgot your password" / password reset instructions much easier to find in the Codex documentation, addressing direct user feedback that the existing guidance was buried and hard to discover.

Changes

  • New dedicated page: content/docs/getting-started/forgot-password.mdx

    • Clear step-by-step reset flow
    • Warnings about real email requirement
    • Spam folder + "no email received" troubleshooting
  • Navigation: Added to the Getting Started sidebar (meta.json)

  • Initial Setup page:

    • New prominent <Callout> right after manual login instructions
    • Updated links in the troubleshooting accordion and common issues section
  • Troubleshooting flow (components/troubleshooting-flow.tsx):

    • "I cannot log in or finish setup" path now lists the new Forgot Password page first
    • Improved check item wording to point users to the guide
  • FAQ: Existing entry now links to the new dedicated guide as the authoritative source

Before vs After

Before: Only one sentence inside a deep accordion in Initial Setup + a short FAQ entry. Users (like Joel in the recent report) had to hunt for it.

After: Dedicated page + surfaced in sidebar + callout on main setup page + top result in the interactive troubleshooting wizard.

This should significantly reduce support load for a very common account recovery issue.

- Add dedicated 'Forgot Your Password' guide page under Getting Started
- Add prominent Callout + updated links in Initial Setup page
- Promote the new page as the top link in the 'cannot log in' troubleshooting path
- Update FAQ entry to point to the new authoritative guide
- Register the page in the Getting Started sidebar navigation

Addresses user feedback that the password reset instructions were hard to find
(buried in troubleshooting accordion and only mentioned briefly in FAQ).
