 ## **Email and Password Reset** 
 
-Most of the code is in place for sending password reset emails, but is not yet feature-complete as I have not setup an email server to test it. Currently, submitting a password reset request will then display a link with the one-time reset token that can then be used to reset the password. Understanding that this is a considerable security hazard, email integration will be included in the next release.
+### General setup
+
+in the .env file modify this 4 variables:
+
+```
+EMAIL_SERVICE=   # eg. gmail
+EMAIL_USERNAME=  # eg. your email address if using gmail
+EMAIL_PASSWORD=  # eg. this is the "app password" if using gmail
+EMAIL_FROM=      # eg. email address for from field like noreply@librechat.ai
+```
+
+EMAIL_SERVICE is the name of the email service you are using (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, ProtonMail, iCloud Mail, etc.).
+EMAIL_USERNAME is the username of the email service (usually, it will be the email address, but in some cases, it can be an actual username used to access the account).
+EMAIL_PASSWORD is the password used to access the email service. This is not the password to access the email account directly, but a password specifically generated for this service.
+EMAIL_FROM is the email address that will appear in the "from" field when a user receives an email.
+
+### Setup with Gmail 
+
+1. Create a Google Account and enable 2-step verification.
+2. In the [Google Account settings](https://myaccount.google.com/), click on the "Security" tab and open "2-step verification."
+3. Scroll down and open "App passwords." Choose "Mail" for the app and select "Other" for the device, then give it a random name.
+4. Click on "Generate" to create a password, and copy the generated password.
+5. In the .env file, modify the variables as follows:
+
+```
+EMAIL_SERVICE=gmail
+EMAIL_USERNAME=your-email
+EMAIL_PASSWORD=your-app-password
+EMAIL_FROM=email address for the from field, e.g., noreply@librechat.ai
+```
+
+NOTE: The variable EMAIL_FROM currently does not work. To stay updated, check the bug fixes [here](https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat/tags).
