# Recover a customer password

Endpoint: `https://my-store.youcan.shop/api/customers/recover`

Method: `POST`

Sends a password reset email. The store sends it only when an account exists for the email. The response is the same in both cases.

The email links to the store's reset page, `/account/reset/{id}/{token}`. Send the `id` and `token` of that link to the [Reset endpoint](/store-front/customers/reset).
