ResetToken

ResetToken is a temporary, single-use security token used in computer systems, particularly web applications, to facilitate password reset processes. When a user requests to reset their password, the system typically generates a unique ResetToken. This token is then sent to the user, often via email, as a link containing the token.

The purpose of the ResetToken is to verify that the request is legitimate and originates from the intended user. The token is designed to be time-limited and valid only for a specific duration to prevent unauthorized use. Upon receiving the reset link, the user clicks it, and the system checks the validity of the token. If the token is valid and has not expired, the user is presented with a form to set a new password. Once the password is successfully reset, the ResetToken is invalidated, making it unusable for any further attempts. This security measure helps protect user accounts from being compromised through unauthorized password reset requests.
