Password Reset

This project implements a password reset feature with both backend and frontend components.

Backend

The backend is built with Django and Django Rest Framework.

APIs:

• POST /api/v1/user/password-reset/:
  • This endpoint initiates the password reset process.
  • It expects an email in the request body.
  • If the user exists, it sends an email with a password reset link.
• POST /api/v1/user/reset-password/<encoded_pk>/<token>/:
  • This endpoint resets the password.
  • It expects password, confirm_password, encoded_pk, and token in the request body.
  • It validates the token and resets the password.

Setup:

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r backend/requirements.txt

2. Configure email settings:
   • Update your backend/backend/settings.py with your email provider's settings (e.g., SMTP server, username, password).
3. Run migrations:

   python backend/manage.py migrate

4. Run the development server:

   python backend/manage.py runserver

Frontend

The frontend consists of two HTML files that use JavaScript to interact with the backend APIs.

• forgot-password.html:
  • A form to enter an email address to receive a password reset link.
• reset-password.html:
  • A form to enter and confirm a new password.

Usage:

1. Open forgot-password.html in your browser.
2. Enter your email and submit the form.
3. Check your email for the reset link.
4. Open the link, which will take you to reset-password.html.
5. Enter your new password and submit the form.
