Request password reset

Introduction

This endpoint is used to create a password reset for an existing account. This is to be used when you wish to deal with the confirmation flow entirely on the side of the implementing application. No e-mails will be triggered from Payway when this happens. You must finish up the password reset by calling the complete_password_reset-endpoint.
