The Forgot Password function is executed, and the users receive an email to guide them to change their account password.
If your administrator does not integrate OAuth with eXo Platform, you will see one message "No social network available". If any social network is integrated, you will see the following that allows you to link/unlink your account to the social networks.
The text fields are read-only. Each has a value when the eXo account is linked with a social network account; otherwise, it is empty.
A social network username can only be associated with a single eXo account at one time. Hence, if one attempts to link with a username that is already linked to another account, an error message is displayed: This {$Network} username ({$Username}) is already linked to an eXo username. Please enter another one or ask your administrator to unlink it.
When you click the Unlink button, the link between the social network and the eXo Platform account is reset to blank. Hence, this username can be used to link another eXo account.
