Pseudocode: Implement Forget Password Feature

Objective:

Add a "Forget Password" feature that allows users to reset their password by entering their email ID. Send a password reset link to the user's email, enabling them to set a new password securely.

Steps:

1. Define the Password Reset Token Schema

• Token Schema Structure:

  • Fields:
    • userId: The ID of the user requesting the password reset (e.g., String, required)
    • token: Unique reset token (e.g., String, required)
    • expiresAt: Expiration time for the token (e.g., Date, required)

• Mongoose Schema Example:

  const mongoose = require('mongoose');
  
  const passwordResetSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
      userId: {
          type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
          ref: 'User',
          required: true
      },
      token: {
          type: String,
          required: true
      },
      expiresAt: {
          type: Date,
          required: true
      }
  });
  
  const PasswordReset = mongoose.model('PasswordReset', passwordResetSchema);
