- **User is not activated**.
If the user account is not activated, the “Forgot my password” email will not be sent. You must <DocLink product={props.product} path="user-guide/users/#create-a-new-user" useTbDocs>activate the user</DocLink> first.
- **SMTP is not configured**.
If SMTP is not set up on your ThingsBoard instance, password recovery emails cannot be delivered.
<DocLink product={props.product} path="user-guide/ui/mail-settings" useTbDocs>Make sure SMTP is configured correctly.</DocLink>

- **Case sensitivity of email login**.
By default, email login in ThingsBoard is case-sensitive for security reasons. To disable case sensitivity,
update the <DocLink product={props.product} path="reference/configuration/core-rule-engine-config/#:~:text=SECURITY%5FUSER%5FLOGIN%5FCASE%5FSENSITIVE,login" useTbDocs>SECURITY_USER_LOGIN_CASE_SENSITIVE</DocLink>
parameter to **false** in your <DocLink product={props.product} path="user-guide/install/config" useTbDocs>configuration</DocLink> file. After that, you must restart your Thingsboard service to apply the changes.
