Step 1: Download Laravel

In this first step we need to get fresh Laravel 8 version application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

 

Step 2: Create table

And update tha schema like below

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

  

class CreatePasswordResetsTable extends Migration

{

    /**

     * Run the migrations.

     *

     * @return void

     */

    public function up()

    {

        Schema::create('password_resets', function (Blueprint $table) {

            $table->string('email')->index();

            $table->string('token');

            $table->timestamp('created_at')->nullable();

        });

    }

  

    /**

     * Reverse the migrations.

     *

     * @return void

     */

    public function down()

    {

        Schema::dropIfExists('password_resets');

    }

Step 3: Create Route

In this laravel 8 reset password example this step is we need to create custom route for forget and reset link. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.

routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\ForgotPasswordController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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('forget-password', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'showForgetPasswordForm'])->name('forget.password.get');
Route::post('forget-password', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'submitForgetPasswordForm'])->name('forget.password.post'); 
Route::get('reset-password/{token}', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'showResetPasswordForm'])->name('reset.password.get');
Route::post('reset-password', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'submitResetPasswordForm'])->name('reset.password.post');

 

Step 4: Create Controller

Almost all are set to go. In this step, we need to create ForgotPasswordController and add following code on that file:

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ForgotPasswordController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth; 
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request; 
use DB; 
use Carbon\Carbon; 
use App\Models\User; 
use Mail; 
use Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
  
class ForgotPasswordController extends Controller
{
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function showForgetPasswordForm()
      {
         return view('auth.forgetPassword');
      }
  
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function submitForgetPasswordForm(Request $request)
      {
          $request->validate([
              'email' => 'required|email|exists:users',
          ]);
  
          $token = Str::random(64);
  
          DB::table('password_resets')->insert([
              'email' => $request->email, 
              'token' => $token, 
              'created_at' => Carbon::now()
            ]);
  
          Mail::send('email.forgetPassword', ['token' => $token], function($message) use($request){
              $message->to($request->email);
              $message->subject('Reset Password');
          });
  
          return back()->with('message', 'We have e-mailed your password reset link!');
      }
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function showResetPasswordForm($token) { 
         return view('auth.forgetPasswordLink', ['token' => $token]);
      }
  
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function submitResetPasswordForm(Request $request)
      {
          $request->validate([
              'email' => 'required|email|exists:users',
              'password' => 'required|string|min:6|confirmed',
              'password_confirmation' => 'required'
          ]);
  
          $updatePassword = DB::table('password_resets')
                              ->where([
                                'email' => $request->email, 
                                'token' => $request->token
                              ])
                              ->first();
  
          if(!$updatePassword){
              return back()->withInput()->with('error', 'Invalid token!');
          }
  
          $user = User::where('email', $request->email)
                      ->update(['password' => Hash::make($request->password)]);
 
          DB::table('password_resets')->where(['email'=> $request->email])->delete();
  
          return redirect('/login')->with('message', 'Your password has been changed!');
      }
}

 

Step 5: Email Setup

in this step, we will add email configuration on env file, because we will send email to reset password link from controller so that user can get their mail and can reset password via that link.

.env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp-mail.outlook.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your_email_address
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=your_email_address

 

Step 6: Create Blade File

We are in the last step of how to create custom reset password functionality in laravel example. Now we need to create blade files for layout, login, register and home page. so let's create one by one files:

resources/views/layout.blade.php

 

Now paste this code into forgot password blade file.

resources/views/auth/forgetPassword.blade.php

 

Same copy this below code and paste this into your file:

resources/views/auth/forgetPasswordLink.blade.php

 

resources/views/email/forgetPassword.blade.php

 

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

 

Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command to test Laravel custom reset password option:

 

url
localhost:8000/login

 

Now click reset password link and test it.
