A secured gateway for any website, social media platform, or platform holding personal information is very crucial. Therefore, creating a non-faulty login page is very important. That is why while writing test cases for Password or test cases for Forgot Password functionality, one should be very careful and keep in mind all the user scenarios. Any loophole will risk the user’s personal information as well as unauthorized access to sensitive information. Here are some test scenarios for password and forgot password functionality.
I hope these will be helpful next time you are required to list down scenarios for a similar situation.
