pio-account: Reset your password using your username or email.
$ pio account forgot --username ${username_or_email}
try on your machine

The command pio account forgot --username ${username_or_email} is used to initiate the password recovery process for a PlatformIO (PIO) account.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • pio account forgot refers to the PlatformIO command-line interface (CLI) command for initiating the account password recovery.
  • --username is an option followed by ${username_or_email} which is a placeholder for the actual username or email of the account for which you have forgotten the password.

With this command, you are informing PlatformIO that you have forgotten the password for your account and want to initiate the password recovery procedure. Replace ${username_or_email} with the actual username or email associated with your account.

After running this command, PlatformIO will send an email to the provided username or email address with instructions on resetting the password.
