[mehalyna]

1. Implement Password Recovery API Endpoint:

   • Develop an API endpoint to handle password recovery requests.
   • Ensure the endpoint securely accepts and validates the user's email address.

2. Email Service Integration:

   • Integrate an email service provider into the application.
   • Set up a system to send password recovery emails with secure links or codes.

3. Password Reset Functionality:

   • Implement the functionality for users to reset their passwords using the link or code sent to their email.
   • Include form validation for the new password (e.g., minimum length, complexity).

4. Security Measures for Password Reset:

   • Ensure the password reset link or code is time-sensitive and expires after a certain period.
   • Implement measures to prevent brute force attacks on the password reset endpoint.

5. User Feedback and Error Handling:

   • Create a user-friendly interface for the password recovery process.
   • Provide clear feedback for successful password reset or errors (e.g., invalid link/code, unrecognized email).

6. Testing and Validation:

   • Thoroughly test the password recovery process to ensure its reliability and security.
   • Include unit and integration tests for the password recovery feature.
