Description
When a user forgot its password, he can request a link allowing him to reinitialize it.
About the email sending:
- Always give a feedback about a mail being sent, even if the account doesn't exists : this prevent enumeration listing. (i.e. "if the account exists, a link will be sent by email")
- rate limit the forgot password request. (i.e. max 3/hours)
A new link with a randomly generated token will be send to the user so he can proceed further.
About the generated link:
- It has one time use and contains a randomly generated opaque token linked to his account.
- It expires if no one clicked on it in the following 2 hours.
- If a link has already been generated, invalidate it and generate a new one.
