Self-Service Password Recovery

If you forgot your AeroCoreMX password, you used to be stuck waiting on a shop administrator to reset it for you. Not anymore.

There's now a Forgot your password? link right on the login screen. Enter your account email, and if it matches an account, we'll send you a temporary password — log in with it and you'll be asked to set a new one right away.

A few things we built in to keep this genuinely secure, not just convenient:

• The page never reveals whether an email address actually has an account on file — the response looks identical either way, so this can't be used to go fishing for who has access to your shop's AeroCoreMX account.
• Repeated requests for the same account are automatically throttled, so it can't be used to spam someone's inbox.
• It only ever resets your password, never your signature PIN — those stay completely separate, exactly as they should for FAA record-keeping purposes.

This is also the first piece of a bigger security push. We're actively working on device-aware two-factor authentication for every AeroCoreMX shop, at no extra cost — more on that soon.
