using a third party created form in my app

John, interesting. I see that you are opening a new connection to the database with the password embedded in the code. I'd like to use $this->load->database();, since I have already made connection in the main part of my application. So my real issue is "how does fusion auth support passing an index to a user who has received a passwordless email"? So I realize that this may not be a CI question at all.
