## Remarks

This API is available on Win32, Linux, and macOS. If the account in question is a 'temporary' account (for example, one that was created via a call to LoginFromIOSDeviceID), thisfunction will have no effect. Only PlayFab accounts which have valid email addresses will be able to receive a password reset email using this API. Call XAsyncGetStatus to get the status of the operation. If the service call is unsuccessful, the async result will be E\_PF\_EMAIL\_RECIPIENT\_BLACKLISTED, E\_PF\_INVALID\_EMAIL\_ADDRESS, E\_PF\_NO\_CONTACT\_EMAIL\_ADDRESS\_FOUND, E\_PF\_SMTP\_ADDON\_NOT\_ENABLED or any of the global PlayFab Service errors.
