Work with the expired password link

The reset password link emailed to users is set to expire after two days by default in Optimizely Configured Commerce. If the user attempts to use an expired link, a message is displayed recommending they start the process over by clicking the forgot password link. The amount of time users have before the reset password link expires is controlled by the Emailed Password Link Valid For Days setting.
