# customerRecover - storefront - MUTATION
Version: 2024-10

## Description
Sends a reset password email to the customer. The reset password
email contains a reset password URL and token that you can pass to
the [`customerResetByUrl`](https://shopify.dev/api/storefront/latest/mutations/customerResetByUrl) or
[`customerReset`](https://shopify.dev/api/storefront/latest/mutations/customerReset) mutation to reset the
customer password.

This mutation is throttled by IP. With private access,
you can provide a [`Shopify-Storefront-Buyer-IP`](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/authentication#optional-ip-header) instead of the request IP.
The header is case-sensitive and must be sent as `Shopify-Storefront-Buyer-IP`.

Make sure that the value provided to `Shopify-Storefront-Buyer-IP` is trusted. Unthrottled access to this
mutation presents a security risk.
