Hi,

it will be great if there will be reset password button for not login user if LOGIN_REQUIRED = True, so user who forgot his password will be available to reset it by enter username and go via email link

Thanks beforehand.

Given NetBox's function as an exclusively inward-facing tool, it doesn't seem prudent to include this sort of "self-help" functionality. IMO wherever the reissuance of credentials is necessary, an administrator should be involved.

It could be a configurable feature, for example USER_PASSWORD_RESET = True / False

The problem with configurable features is that they're no less burdensome to maintain (more so, actually).
