This post will give you simple example of how to create custom forgot password in laravel. step by step explain laravel custom reset password email.

I will help to creating custom reset password function in php laravel. so basically, you can also create custom forget password with different models too.

Here, I will give you full example for simply laravel custom forgot & reset password as bellow.

Step 1: Install Laravel 8 Application

we are going from scratch, So we require to get fresh Laravel application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Laravel8TypeheadTutorial
Step 2: Database Configuration

In this step, configure database with your downloded/installed laravel 8 app. So, you need to find .env file and setup database details as following:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db name
DB_USERNAME=db user name
DB_PASSWORD=db password
Step 3: Create "password_resets" table

basically, it will already created "password_resets" table migration but if it's not created then you can create new migration as like bellow code:

string('email')->index();
            $table->string('token');
            $table->timestamp('created_at')->nullable();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('password_resets');
    }
}
Step 4: Create Route

In this is step we need to create custom route for forget and reset link. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.

routes/web.php
<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\ForgotPasswordController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('forget-password', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'showForgetPasswordForm'])->name('forget.password.get');
Route::post('forget-password', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'submitForgetPasswordForm'])->name('forget.password.post'); 
Route::get('reset-password/{token}', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'showResetPasswordForm'])->name('reset.password.get');
Route::post('reset-password', [ForgotPasswordController::class, 'submitResetPasswordForm'])->name('reset.password.post');
Step 5: Create Controller

Now step, we need to create ForgotPasswordController and add following code on that file:

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ForgotPasswordController.php
<?php 
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth; 
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request; 
use DB; 
use Carbon\Carbon; 
use App\Models\User; 
use Mail; 
use Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
  
class ForgotPasswordController extends Controller
{
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function showForgetPasswordForm()
      {
         return view('auth.forgetPassword');
      }
  
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function submitForgetPasswordForm(Request $request)
      {
          $request->validate([
              'email' => 'required|email|exists:users',
          ]);
  
          $token = Str::random(64);
  
          DB::table('password_resets')->insert([
              'email' => $request->email, 
              'token' => $token, 
              'created_at' => Carbon::now()
            ]);
  
          Mail::send('email.forgetPassword', ['token' => $token], function($message) use($request){
              $message->to($request->email);
              $message->subject('Reset Password');
          });
  
          return back()->with('message', 'We have e-mailed your password reset link!');
      }
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function showResetPasswordForm($token) { 
         return view('auth.forgetPasswordLink', ['token' => $token]);
      }
  
      /**
       * Write code on Method
       *
       * @return response()
       */
      public function submitResetPasswordForm(Request $request)
      {
          $request->validate([
              'email' => 'required|email|exists:users',
              'password' => 'required|string|min:6|confirmed',
              'password_confirmation' => 'required'
          ]);
  
          $updatePassword = DB::table('password_resets')
                              ->where([
                                'email' => $request->email, 
                                'token' => $request->token
                              ])
                              ->first();
  
          if(!$updatePassword){
              return back()->withInput()->with('error', 'Invalid token!');
          }
  
          $user = User::where('email', $request->email)
                      ->update(['password' => Hash::make($request->password)]);
 
          DB::table('password_resets')->where(['email'=> $request->email])->delete();
  
          return redirect('/login')->with('message', 'Your password has been changed!');
      }
}
Step 6: Email Configuration

In this step,we will add email configuration on env file, because we will send email to reset password link from controller.

.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp-mail.outlook.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=example@hotmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=123456789
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=example@hotmail.com
Step 7: Create Blade Files

Now in this step,we need to create blade files for layout, login, register and home page. so let's create one by one files.


<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">

            text-align: left;
            background-color: #f5f8fa;
        }
        .navbar-laravel
        {
            box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.04);
        }
        .navbar-brand , .nav-link, .my-form, .login-form
        {

        }
        .my-form
        {
            padding-top: 1.5rem;
            padding-bottom: 1.5rem;
        }
        .my-form .row
        {
            margin-left: 0;
            margin-right: 0;
        }
        .login-form
        {
            padding-top: 1.5rem;
            padding-bottom: 1.5rem;
        }
        .login-form .row
        {
            margin-left: 0;
            margin-right: 0;
        }
    </style>
