Password Recovery

[paganotoni]

One of the things i would like to add into buffalo auth is password recovery, my intention is to have something like:

$ buffalo g auth password-recovery

That would:

• Add properties on the User model:
  • PasswordRecoveryToken (nulls.String) property
  • PasswordRecoveryValidUntil (nulls.Time) property
• Add a method to re-generate PasswordRecoveryToken and ValidUntil on User model.
• Add 2 actions to actions/auth.go:
  • One to render the password recovery form [GET] /password-recovery
  • One to handle the recovery request, [POST] /password-recovery
• Add 1 mailer for for the password recovery request that will be used by the recovery request handler.

This is something I've been hoping would be added for a while, but haven't had time to do it myself, so my vote is go for it^^

Yeah I agree it'll be cool. A very similar one for validating the email when subscribing could be also cool (I can do it if you want ;) ), it was on my plan to propose it.
