AWS connect: Added forgotten-password reset and browser autofill guidance
Summary
Added a new 'Resetting a forgotten password' section describing the self-service password reset flow (Reset password, username entry, email from [email protected], follow link to set new password) and a testing recommendation for browser autofill of saved credentials on the new unified sign-in page.
Security assessment
The change documents authentication-related behavior: a self-service password reset flow and browser credential autofill on the sign-in page. It is security-adjacent guidance (auth/credential handling) but does not describe a specific vulnerability or fix, so it is not security_issue_related.
Evidence
+ 3. Check your email for a password reset message from `[email protected]`. If you do not see the email, check your spam or junk folder. Confirm that messages from this address are not blocked by your email filters.
