   You can either define customPages or use default parse page to prompt users for a new password.

   customPages: {
           invalidLink: link that has your custom page,
           verifyEmailSuccess: link that has your custom page,
           choosePassword: link that has your custom page,
           passwordResetSuccess: link that has your custom page
         }
   

   Follow up question for parse folks:
   Is there a way to do "something" after a password was changed for a user?
   Let's suppose user A goes and generates&send the reset password link to their email, and then clicks on it and change their password successfully, is there a way for our app (e.g. cloud code) to detect that and call a function to do some cleanup?

   @hatpick I have defined my customPages, but the user isn't getting directed to the custom page. Instead they are directed to https://url.com/parse/apps/my-parse-app-id/request_password_reset?token=WVu39ZyNsPWOA7dbF4h6386bE&username=emailaddress%40yahoo.com
   Is there something else I need to do besides define customPages?

     publicServerURL: 'https://url.com/parse',
   
     appName: 'My App',
   
     emailAdapter: {
   
   module: 'parse-server-simple-mailgun-adapter',
   
   options: {
   
     fromAddress: 'noreply@url.com',
   
     domain: 'mg.url.com',
   
     apiKey: 'key-mykey',
   
       }
   
     },
   
     customPages: {
   
   invalidLink: 'http://url.com/link_invalid',
   
   verifyEmailSuccess: 'http://url.com/verify_email_success',
   
   choosePassword: 'https://url.com/choose_password',
   
   passwordResetSuccess: 'http://url.com/sucess'
   
     }

   It appears that the choosePassword key is not actually utilised by parse-server:
   https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=choosePassword&type=

   It is actually using the key requestResetPasswordURL which has not been implemented in the customPages hash. Relatively quick fix I assume?
