This is a project for CSC 4330 at LSU. We are desiging a mobile application for the Louis Stokes Center for the Promotion of Academic Careers through Motivational Opportunities to Develop Emerging Leaders in STEM (LS-PAC MODELS). The app will allow mentors and mentees to match and connect with each other based on mutual interests such as field of research/study and other criteria.
Users should be able to request a temporary password if they have forgotten their current password. The system should email the temporary password to the email address tied to the user’s account
Rationale
Users may forget their passwords yet still need access to the system. The system allows for this mistake and offers a convenient way to log in even if a password is forgotten.
