Today, I will give you an example of “How to reset password in Laravel”, So you can easily apply it with your laravel 5, laravel 6, laravel 7, and laravel 8 application.
First, what we’re doing here, This is the example :
Password Reset in Laravel
Laravel provides it’s own forget password functionality but if you want to create your custom forget password functionality then I will help to create a custom reset password function in PHP laravel. so basically, you can also create custom forget passwords with different models too.
Let’s create a step-by-step custom forgot password in the laravel 8 application.
Update Users Table
$table->string('token')->nullable();
Create a Controller
php artisan make:controller AuthUserControllerDefine Web Routes
routes\web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\AuthUserController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/user-login',[AuthUserController::class,'loginform'])->name('user.login');
Route::post('/check-login',[AuthUserController::class,'checklogin'])->name('post.login');
#Password Reset
Route::any('/user-password-reset',[AuthUserController::class,'userpasswordReset'])->name('userpassword.reset');
Route::any('/user/password/reset/update/{token}',[AuthUserController::class,'userpassResetUpdate'])->name('user.resetupdate');

Add SMTP Details in .env File
We will use Gmail SMTP Server to send Emails in Laravel, you can use Mailtrap or other testing SMTP servers.
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.googlemail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=youremail@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=yoursecurepassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=8bityard@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"If you getting any SMTP errors for sending an email please follow this article: Using Gmail SMTP Server to send Email in Laravel.
Create a token and Send Password Reset Link via user email
app\Http\Controllers\AuthUserController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use\App\Models\User;
use Auth;
use Crypt;
use Session;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\Mail\UserForgotPassword;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
class AuthUserController extends Controller
{
public function loginform()
{
return view('user.login');
}
public function checklogin(Request $request)
{
$input = $request->all();
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required',
'password' => 'required'],
[
'email.required' => 'Email is required',
'password.required' => 'Password is required']);
if(Auth::attempt(['email' => $input['email'], 'password' => $input['password']]))
{
Session::put('user_session', $input['email']);
return redirect('/user-dashboard');
}
else
{
return redirect('/user-login')->with('error','Invalid credentials');
}
}
public function userpasswordReset(Request $request)
{
if($request->isMethod('post')){
$userData = User::select('id','email')->where('email', '=',$request->email)->first();
if($userData){
$token = md5($request->email);
User::where('email', $request->email)->update(['token' => $token]);
}
if(empty( $userData)){
return redirect()->back()->with('flash_message_error','Email does not exist !');
}else{
//mail with link
Mail::to($request->email)->send(new UserForgotPassword($userData,$token ));
return redirect()->back()->with('flash_message_success','Password reset Mail Sent Successfully !');
}
}else
{
return view('user.passwordReset');
}
}
#Password Reset
public function userpassResetUpdate(Request $request,$token=null)
{
if($token){
if($request->isMethod('post')){
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'new_password' => 'required|min:6',
'new_confirm_password' => 'required|min:6|same:new_password',
]);
$userCredentialupdate = User::where('token',$token)->first();
if($userCredentialupdate){
$userCredentialupdate->token = 'NULL';
$userCredentialupdate->password = Hash::make($request->new_confirm_password);
$userCredentialupdate->save();
return redirect()->route('user.login')->with('flash_message_success','Your Password Reset Successfully! Now you can Login');
}else{
return redirect('/user-login')->with('flash_message_error','Something went wrong!');
}
}else
{
return view('user.passwordresetupdate',compact('token'));
}
}
}
}
We will create an email to send forgot password URL and reset the blade File.
php artisan make:mail UserForgotPasswordapp\Mail\UserForgotPassword.php
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
class UserForgotPassword extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public $user;
public function __construct($user,$code=null)
{
$user['code']= $code;
$this->user = $user;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.userforgetpass');
}
}
Send a Reset Password Link to Email
We will define the routes necessary to actually reset the password once the user clicks on the password reset link that has been emailed to them and provides a new password.
First, let’s define the route that will display the reset password form that is displayed when the user clicks the reset password link. This route will receive a token parameter that we will use later to verify the password reset request:
resources\views\emails\userforgetpass.php
<body>
Click here the Link : <a href="{{ URL('/user/password/reset/update/'.$user['code'])}}">Reset Password</a>
</body>

Validating User input Email
$userData = User::select('id','email')->where('email', '=',$request->email)->first();
if($userData){
$token = md5($request->email);
User::where('email', $request->email)->update(['token' => $token]);
}
if(empty( $userData)){
return redirect()->back()->with('flash_message_error','Email does not exist !');
}else{
//mail with link
Mail::to($request->email)->send(new UserForgotPassword($userData,$token ));
return redirect()->back()->with('flash_message_success','Password reset Mail Sent Successfully !');
}
If the User Input email exist
Simply, we Store a token in the users table that we use later to verify the password reset request.
