In this episode, we're taking you through the process of setting up the password reset flow for users who have forgotten their password. We start off by looking at the email that gets sent out with the reset link containing a token and the user's email address. Then, we jump into the code to build a modal for users to enter their new password and confirmation — making sure the email field in the form is displayed but not editable.
You'll see how to hook up the modal so it talks to the backend, how to pass down the email and token safely, and how to handle the form submission so the password actually gets updated. We also troubleshoot a couple of common issues, like forgetting to send the token with the reset request.
Next, we polish up the experience so when someone successfully resets their password, they get redirected to the login page with a nice toast message letting them know it's all good to sign in again. There's also a bit of refactoring to keep things tidy, and we show you exactly where to adjust stuff like response messages and where users get redirected.
By the end, you'll have a smooth, end-to-end user password reset experience in your app, complete with clear feedback and a secure process. Perfect for making your app more user-friendly and professional!
