Send Forgot Password EMAIL to reset password.
We have already covered Laravel installation and Laravel Auth Scaffolding.
Next, We will cover forgot password flow using Laravel/UI.
Step 1
Gather SMTP Details, you can use any SMTP but for this tutorial I am going to use MailTrap, this is an email testing tool you can use while developing any SMTP feature.
The Detail we require are
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=#############
MAIL_PASSWORD=############
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="test@test.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
We have to update these details in .env file.
Step 2
Now go to password reset route /password/reset you will see the reset password page.
Now enter the registered email address and click on Send Password Link.
You should get an email in MAILTRAP Inbox.
Once you click on Reset Password Button from Email you will land on the Change password screen.
After you enter a new password you will redirect to the homepage.
