The HTML Form Adapter offers self-service account management tools for password management, account recovery, username recovery, and email ownership verification. When an HTML Form Adapter instance is configured to deliver its messages based on an SMTP Notification Publisher instance configuration, administrators can optionally customize and localize the following template files with branding controls to provide a consistent brand experience to end users across multiple user populations.
