Implement Secure Password Reset Flow
This PR implements the forgot password and reset password functionality with email verification using a resendable token.
Changes Made
Accepts user email from the request.
Generates a JWT reset token valid for 1 hour.
Saves the token in the user’s refreshToken field.
Sends an email to the user with a password reset link.
Returns a success message if the email is sent, or an error if the user is not found.
Accepts reset token from URL params and new password from request body.
Verifies the token and checks if it matches the stored refreshToken.
Updates the user’s password and clears the refreshToken.
Returns a success message on successful reset, or an error for invalid/expired tokens.
Testing Instructions
Make a POST request to /api/auth/forgotPassword with the user email.
Check the email for the reset link.
Make a POST request to /api/auth/resetPassword/:token with the new password.
Confirm that the password is updated and the token cannot be reused.
