Set OTP lifetime for password reset to 1 hour [Updated in Security Center 2.0]

Control the time duration of the link in the password reset email.

The glide.pwd_reset.onetime.token.validity system property makes the link in the password reset email expire after the number of hours specified in the property. The validity time of a password reset token should be kept as short as possible while not disrupting normal user experience

Set the property value to 1 (in hours).
