[shivashank6042]

I tried below REST API:

localhost/magento/rest/V1/customers/password

{

"email": "myemail@gmail.com",

"template": "Forgot Password",

"websiteId": 1

}

Response: false

Not receiving any email for ID used in request.

Please suggest any solution

On your local machine, try installing this free SMTP module:

Also check in admin panel configuration that the email is turned on. There could be chances that email can be turned off from the admin panel:

Stores -> Configuration -> Advanced -> System -> Mail Sending Settings -> Disable Email Communications to No
