Feature Summary
Implement a complete "Forgot Password" flow that allows users to securely reset their password if they are unable to access their account.
Problem Statement
AsyncNode currently does not provide a password recovery mechanism for users who forget their password.
Without this feature:
- Users cannot regain access to their accounts without administrator intervention.
- The authentication experience is incomplete.
- User experience and accessibility are negatively impacted.
A secure password reset flow is an essential feature for any production-ready authentication system.
Proposed Solution
Implement a complete password recovery workflow consisting of the following steps:
- Add a Forgot Password option on the sign-in page.
- Allow users to request a password reset by entering their registered email address.
- Generate a secure, time-limited reset token (or OTP).
- Send the reset link or verification code via email.
- Verify the token before allowing the user to reset their password.
- Allow users to create a new password.
- Invalidate the reset token after successful password reset or expiration.
- Return appropriate success and error responses for all possible scenarios.
The implementation should follow the existing authentication architecture and security best practices.
Benefits
- Completes the authentication system.
- Improves user experience and account recovery.
- Reduces administrative overhead.
- Aligns AsyncNode with modern authentication standards.
- Enhances the platform's production readiness.
Additional Context
- Reset tokens should be securely generated and expire after a configurable period.
- Password reset tokens should be single-use.
- Existing password hashing mechanisms should be reused.
- The implementation should include both backend APIs and frontend user interface updates.
- Error messages should avoid revealing whether an email address is registered to prevent user enumeration attacks.
