Firebase sendPasswordResetEmail doesn't send email

Question

I have a problem concerning my application using firebase: If I want to enable the users to reset their password themselves firebase doesn't send an email to their address. If I do it myself from the firebase console it works fine. I'm trying it like this:

   resetPassword(email: string) {
        sendPasswordResetEmail(this.auth, email)
            .then(() => {
                // Password reset email sent!
                // ..
            })
            .catch((error) => {
                const errorCode = error.code;
                const errorMessage = error.message;
                // ..
            });
    }

Has someone some insights for me, why this isn't working? I get my auth like this:

this.firebaseApp = initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig);
this.auth = getAuth(firebaseApp);

I am using the Firebase Modular SDK (V9.0.0+).

I would be really grateful if someone can help me! Cheers!

Where are you getting environment from? If you are getting it correctly and environment.firebaseConfig is not undefined then this should work.

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';
import { getAuth, sendPasswordResetEmail } from "firebase/auth";

const app = initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig);
const auth = getAuth();
sendPasswordResetEmail(auth, email)
  .then(() => {
    // Password reset email sent!
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    const errorCode = error.code;
    const errorMessage = error.message;
  });
