Suggestion: Reset password system (at login)

[bensaine]

A way to reset password with your email using a token system at login. You would also need to add a email input to user creation.

While this would be an easy feature to implement, it would cause issues for people hosting the software on hosts that don’t support by default a mailing server, and also would cause issues for people running the software off of local host.

Alternatively, I could implement a secure pin or security question you setup after creating your account which would redirect to that process instead of an email reset.

That wouldn’t be as secure as a token system. There could be work arounds to mailing server issue.

@tyler-wp Check this post on stack overflow on how to mail without a local mail server installed.

you could just do it the proper way, with the mailing sistem, and add some sort of "true/false" config so "localhosters" can disable it and use this anyway. and people who want this for a live server can enable this for security matters.
