We are working on a web project that has a password reset feature.

Now the problem is, between "Password Reset Mail" and "Reset Password Mail", which is better?

Reset to default

It depends where that text belongs. If you have a button on a webpage to reset the password, it should simply say “Reset password by mail” or, shorter, “Mail password reset”. The mail itself would be a “Password reset email”.

Presumably you mean email instead of just mail, and that this is a link for resetting one's password, so I would suggest a couple of alternatives:

Email Password Reset

which will be easily understood, or

Reset Password Via Email

which is explicit.

  • Thanks, I mean which email title should I use?

  • Yes, and I'm suggesting that neither of your choices reflects optimal word order; hence, my offer of alternatives.

  • @Xhacker Liu: When talking about the email itself, you can say "Password reset email" (for instance, "The password reset email will arrive within two hours").
