I want to use the recoverable method in Devise. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41073348/how-do-i-enable-recoverable-in-devise https://www.codeschool.com/blog/2012/10/02/re-generating-forgot-password-emails-with-devise/

Recoverable is available to you if it’s included in your

User model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base 
  devise :database_authenticatable, :timeoutable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable
 ... 
end

How to:

Create a method in your controller that will call send_reset_password_instructions.

In users_controller.rb, add:

def generate_new_password_email 
  user = User.find(params[:user_id]) 
  user.send_reset_password_instructions flash[:notice] = "Reset password instructions have been sent to #{user.email}." 
  redirect_to admin_user_path(user) 
end

Create a route in routes.rb:

namespace :admin do 
  resources :users, only: :show do 
    post :generate_new_password_email 
  end 
end

Create a simple form on your user’s show page in the admin.

In show.html.erb, add:

<%=form_tag(admin_user_generate_new_password_email_path(@user)) do %> 
  <%=submit_tag 'Send Reset Password Email', class: 'button', :confirm => 'Are you sure you want to email reset password instructions?' %> 
<% end %>

That’s it! If you want to test this in your development environment,
you can configure your SMTP settings to send an email locally.

At the bottom of config/environments/development.rb, add:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }   config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true   config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true config.action_mailer.default :charset => "utf-8"   ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :authentication => :plain, :domain => 'gmail.com', :user_name => 'username@gmail.com', :password => 'secret' }

Restart your local server.

From your user page in the admin panel,
you can now hit the “Send Reset Password Email” button,
and a new reset password email will be sent to the user.
