How could I implement password reset in Node.js, express.js and Mongodb? I want to send user an email with password reset link which is valid for one hour or two. Is there any existing library that supports this? How could I implement it?
Thanks,
This could actually be a framework agnostic question. I got a lot of information out of this screencast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/274-remember-me-reset-password I know it's Ruby code but the techniques described there were easy to port to node.js.
If you're up for using a third-party system, the Stormpath express library covers this in their docs here: https://docs.stormpath.com/nodejs/express/product.html#use-password-reset
I work on this library @ Stormpath, but it covers this use case pretty well. The only other options I'm aware of is to write this stuff raw from scratch.
