# About the Recovery Email API

The Wix Recovery API enables [Wix Headless](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless.md) site or app members to reset their passwords. Learn more about [handling members with a custom login](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/coding/rest-api/visitors-and-members/handle-members-with-custom-login.md).

With the Wix Recovery API, you can:
- Send recovery emails to members who need to reset their passwords.
- Manage the language and redirect settings for recovery emails.

## Before you begin:
It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

- Add the full URL to redirect members to after they change their password as an [allowed authorization redirect URI](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/develop-your-project/self-managed-headless/authentication/members/add-allowed-authorization-redirect-uris.md).
- Publish the Wix site connected to your Headless project. Wix uses the published site to display the password reset page. To do this, open your project dashboard, select **Design Site** from the left panel, and then select **Publish**.

## Use cases
- [Send a recovery email to a member and redirect them back to your login page after the password reset](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/headless/recovery/sample-flows.md)
