### Create Custom Password Reset Form

Now to create a custom password reset page you have to add the WP Login & Register widget at two places, first where you’ll have the login form with the password reset link then the second on the page where you’ll have the password reset form.

For instance, we’ll have two pages - Login page (for the login form) and Password Reset page (for the password reset form).

1. Add the WP Login & Register widget on the page or location where you want to have the login form, in our case, it is the Login page.

2. From the **Forms Layout** tab, select the **Login** or **Login and Register** form from the **Type** dropdown.

3. Then select **Custom** from the **Password Reset Page** dropdown.

4. After that from the **Select Page** dropdown, select your page, in our case, it is the Password Reset page.

> *Note: In the ****Login**** and ****Login and Register**** form make sure the ****Lost your password?**** toggle is enabled from the ****Login Options**** tab, only then you’ll see the Lost Password link in the form.*

5. Then add the WP Login & Register widget to the page you want to use as the password reset page, in our case it is the Password Reset page.

6. Select **Forgot Password** from the **Type** dropdown under the **Forms Layout** tab.

> *Note: For any email related features such as Lost your password, User Registration etc. you have to set up SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send emails properly. You can use the free *[*Fluent SMTP Plugin*](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fluent-smtp)*.*

From the **Lost Password Options** tab, you can edit the form label, placeholder and button text. You can also customize the password reset email from here.

Then from the Reset Password Option tab, you can force users to use strong passwords by enabling the **Strong Password Required** toggle.

Now when users request for password reset from your login form, the link in the password reset email will redirect users to your selected password reset page.
