Description

Streamlining password reset for a seamless user experience!

Previously, the password reset process posed several challenges for users:

  • Loss of context: Users would lose track of their journey on Lowe's after submitting their email for password reset, as further steps occurred via a link sent to their email.
  • Low email delivery rate: Email delivery issues arose due to the use of Salesforce Marketing Cloud, resulting in certain users not receiving password reset emails, particularly those with flagged email addresses or generic domains.
  • Customer Benefits

    The new password reset journey introduces Email OTP verification, addressing these challenges:

  • Preserved context: Users remain within the Lowe's website throughout the password reset process, minimizing disruption to their shopping experience.
  • Improved email delivery rate: Transitioning to Twilio/Sendgrid enhances email delivery rates, ensuring users receive password reset emails promptly.
  • Impact

    The implementation of Email OTP verification for password reset has yielded significant improvements:

  • Increase in overall success percentage for password updates: +15%
  • Reduced friction during the password reset journey, leading to higher completion rates and improved user satisfaction.
