Email Password Reset in Ionic

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hello,

I am trying to use the Ionic Auth service to reset passwords through my app by designing my own forms (not using Ionic’s hosted reset form) as described here: https://docs.ionic.io/services/auth/#using-the-client

Here is some source code showing how I request the password reset:

sendReset() {
    this.auth.requestPasswordReset(this.emailAddress).then( (res)=> {
      //On success
      this.resetInProgress = true;

      //Pop some toast
      let toast = this.toastCtrl.create({
        message: 'A password reset email has been sent.  Check your inbox!',
        duration: 3000
      });
      toast.present();
    }, (rej)=> {
      //Pop some toast
      let toast = this.toastCtrl.create({
        message: 'There was a problem resetting your password.  Please try again!',
        duration: 3000
      });
      toast.present();

      console.log('Error resetting password: ', rej);
    });

  }

In the above snippet, this.emailAddress is a string formatted as a valid email address. When a user requests a password reset, they do get an email sent from Ionic, but it looks like this:

This email gets sent to an email address even though I know a user has been created with this email address using the Auth service. Has anybody else run into this? Are there any additional steps needed to get this to work? I followed the Ionic docs exactly and am not sure what I’m missing. I have searched for similar questions and all of them are irrelevant or are different in some way. Here is my ionic info:

global packages:

    @ionic/cli-utils : 1.5.0
    Cordova CLI      : 7.0.1

Any help appreciated, thanks!
