Documentation

Improved product overview and guidance for Fortified ID Password Reset

The Password Reset documentation has been expanded and restructured to make it easier to understand what Fortified ID Password Reset is, what it can be used for, and where to start depending on the reader's goal.

The updated documentation now includes clearer overview content such as Overview, Delegated Password Reset, and Different Password Policies. The Get started, Modules, Management Center, UI, and On behalf of pages have also been positioned more clearly as entry points for different reader needs.

These updates are intended to make the documentation more approachable for both business-oriented readers and technical readers, while giving a clearer picture of the scenarios that Fortified ID Password Reset supports.
