[emmayank]

Description

This task involves developing a Reset Password API using the Strapi plugin and its default authentication model. The API should allow users to securely reset their password through a token-based mechanism. This will enhance security and usability for users who may have forgotten their passwords, enabling them to reset it with minimal friction.

Goals

• [x] Develop the Reset Password API using the Strapi plugin with the default authentication model.
• [x] Ensure the API provides a secure mechanism for users to reset their passwords.
• [ ] Implement token-based password reset functionality (i.e., a user receives a reset link via email with a token to validate the request).
• [x] Maintain code quality and follow best practices, particularly regarding security.

Expected Outcome

1. A fully functional and secure Reset Password API is integrated within the application.
2. The API should follow a token-based mechanism to securely reset user passwords.
3. Users will be able to initiate a password reset request, receive a reset link via email, and complete the process.
4. Improved user experience and enhanced security for password management.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Reset Password API is created and operational.
• [x] The API securely handles password reset requests and updates user passwords.
• [x] The API implements a token-based reset mechanism and sends a reset link via email.
• [ ] The process is secure, ensuring tokens are time-bound and unique.
• [x] Code passes all tests and code reviews.
