Why Password Resets Still Fail
Forgot-password email is not enough when SMTP fails or customers never get the message:
- Support backlog — agents cannot unblock logins
- Email dependency — reset links never arrive
- No admin set-password — Magento core limits what staff can do
- Security process gaps — ad-hoc DB password hacks

Add your Towering Media credentials to auth.json in the Magento root (same pattern as other Towering Media extensions).
