+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Authentication Flow
+
+### Registration Flow
+```
+1. User submits registration form
+2. Backend validates all fields
+3. Checks if email already exists
+4. Hashes password with bcrypt
+5. Creates user in database
+6. Generates JWT token
+7. Returns user data and token
+```
+
+### Login Flow
+```
+1. User submits email and password
+2. Backend finds user by email
+3. Compares password with hash
+4. Validates password match
+5. Generates JWT token
+6. Returns user data and token
+7. Token set in cookie and header
+```
+
+### Password Reset Flow
+```
+1. User requests password reset
+2. Backend generates secure token
+3. Hashes token (SHA256)
+4. Saves to database (15 min expiry)
+5. Sends email with reset link
+6. Returns success (no email enumeration)
+7. User clicks link and enters new password
+8. Backend validates token and expiry
+9. Hashes new password (bcrypt)
+10. Updates database
+11. Clears reset token
+12. Returns success
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Tokens
+- JWT tokens expire in 7 days (configurable via `JWT_EXPIRATION`)
+- Tokens stored in httpOnly cookies (secure from XSS)
+- Tokens validated on every protected request
+
+### Passwords
+- Minimum 8, maximum 20 characters
+- Must contain uppercase, lowercase, number, special character
+- Hashed with bcrypt (10 salt rounds)
+- Never logged or transmitted in plaintext
+
+### Reset Tokens
+- Generated with 256 bits of entropy
+- Hashed with SHA256 before storage
+- Expire after 15 minutes
+- One-time use only
+- Never sent back to client after creation
+
+### Email Privacy
+- Forgot password endpoint doesn't reveal if email exists
+- Prevents account enumeration attacks
+- Always returns success message
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Error Responses
+
+#### 400 Bad Request
+```json
+{
+ "success": false,
+ "message": "Invalid email format"
+}
+```
+
+#### 401 Unauthorized

+# Password Reset API Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the password reset functionality implemented in the LocalMind Backend. The system includes two main endpoints for initiating and completing password resets securely.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+✅ **Secure Token Generation** - Uses `crypto.randomBytes()` for secure random tokens
+✅ **Token Hashing** - Tokens are hashed with SHA256 before storage
+✅ **Time-Limited Tokens** - Reset tokens expire after 15 minutes
+✅ **Security** - Email existence is never revealed to users
+✅ **Email Notifications** - Beautiful HTML emails with reset links
+✅ **Strong Password Enforcement** - Password must meet strict requirements
+✅ **Atomic Operations** - Token cleared immediately after use
+✅ **User-Safe Error Messages** - No sensitive information in responses
+
+---
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### 1. POST /api/auth/forgot-password
+
+**Description:** Initiate password reset process
+
+**Request Body:**
+```json
+{
+ "email": "user@example.com"
+}
+```
+
+**Response (Success - 200):**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "message": "If the email exists, a reset link has been sent.",
+ "data": {}
+}
+```
+
+**Response (Error - 400):**
+```json
+{
+ "success": false,
+ "message": "Invalid credentials"
+}
+```
+
+**Backend Logic:**
+1. Validates email format
+2. Finds user by email (silently ignores if not found)
+3. Generates secure random token (32 bytes = 64 hex chars)
+4. Hashes token with SHA256
+5. Saves hashed token + 15-minute expiry to database
+6. Sends email with reset link containing raw token
+7. Always returns success message (doesn't reveal if email exists)
+
+**Security Notes:**
+- Token is generated as raw random bytes
+- Only the hashed version is stored in database
+- If user not found, no error is raised (prevents email enumeration)
+- Email sending failures don't break the flow
+
+---
+
+### 2. POST /api/auth/reset-password/:token
+
+**Description:** Complete password reset with valid token
+
+**URL Parameters:**
+- `token` (string) - Reset token from email link (required)
+
+**Request Body:**
+```json
+{
+ "password": "NewStrongPassword123"
+}
+```
+
+**Password Requirements:**
+- Minimum 8 characters, maximum 20 characters
+- At least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
+- At least one lowercase letter (a-z)
+- At least one number (0-9)
+- At least one special character (@$!%*?&)
+
+**Response (Success - 200):**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "message": "Password reset successful",
+ "data": {}
+}
+```
+
+**Response (Invalid/Expired Token - 401):**
+```json
+{
+ "success": false,
+ "message": "Invalid or expired reset token"
+}
+```
+
+**Response (Invalid Password - 400):**
+```json
+{
+ "success": false,
+ "message": "Password must contain at least one uppercase letter"
+}
+```
+
+**Backend Logic:**
+1. Validates token parameter is provided
+2. Validates new password meets requirements
+3. Hashes incoming token with SHA256
+4. Queries database for matching token + valid expiry
+5. If found and valid:
+ - Hashes new password with bcrypt (10 salt rounds)
+ - Updates user password
+ - Clears reset token and expiry (atomic operation)
+6. If not found/expired: Returns error without details
+
+**Security Notes:**
+- Token must match exactly (hashed comparison)
+- Token must not be expired
+- New password is hashed before storage
+- Token is immediately cleared after successful reset
+- Multiple reset attempts with same token fail after first use
+

+
+## Database Schema Changes
+
+### User Model
+
+Added two new fields to the User schema:
+
+```typescript
+resetPasswordToken: {
+ type: String,
+ default: null,
+ select: false, // Not selected by default queries
+}
+resetPasswordExpire: {
+ type: Date,
+ default: null,
+ select: false, // Not selected by default queries
+}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Both fields are optional and default to null
+- Both fields have `select: false` to exclude them from normal queries (security)
+- Must explicitly select them when needed with `.select('+resetPasswordToken +resetPasswordExpire')`
+
+---
+
+## Email Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables Required
+
+```env
+# Email Service Selection (gmail or custom SMTP)
+SMTP_SERVICE=gmail
+SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
+SMTP_PORT=587
+SMTP_SECURE=false
+SMTP_USER=your-email@example.com
+SMTP_PASSWORD=your-app-password
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@localmind.com
+
+# Frontend URL for reset links
+FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### Gmail Setup
+
+For Gmail with 2FA:
+1. Generate an App Password: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
+2. Use the generated password in `SMTP_PASSWORD`
+
+Example Gmail config:
+```env
+SMTP_SERVICE=gmail
+SMTP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
+SMTP_PASSWORD=your-16-char-app-password
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@localmind.com
+FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### Custom SMTP Server
+
+Example for SendGrid, Mailgun, or other providers:
+```env
+SMTP_SERVICE=
+SMTP_HOST=smtp.sendgrid.net
+SMTP_PORT=587
+SMTP_SECURE=false
+SMTP_USER=apikey
+SMTP_PASSWORD=SG.xxxxxxxxxxxx
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@localmind.com
+FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Token Generation Flow
+
+```
+User clicks "Forgot Password" on Frontend
+ ↓
+Frontend calls POST /api/auth/forgot-password
+ ↓
+Backend generates: rawToken = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex')
+ ↓
+Backend hashes: hashedToken = SHA256(rawToken)
+ ↓
+Backend saves: { resetPasswordToken: hashedToken, resetPasswordExpire: now + 15min }
+ ↓
+Backend builds: resetLink = frontend_url + '/reset-password/' + rawToken
+ ↓
+Backend sends email with resetLink
+ ↓
+Frontend returns success message (doesn't reveal if email exists)
+ ↓
+User receives email with reset link
+```
+
+### Token Verification Flow
+
+```
+User receives email and clicks reset link
+ ↓
+Frontend navigates to /reset-password/{rawToken}
+ ↓
+User enters new password
+ ↓
+Frontend calls POST /api/auth/reset-password/{rawToken}
+ ↓
+Backend hashes: incomingHashedToken = SHA256(rawToken)
+ ↓
+Backend queries: User where resetPasswordToken == incomingHashedToken AND resetPasswordExpire > now
+ ↓
+If found:
+ - Hash new password with bcrypt
+ - Update user: { password: hashedPassword, resetPasswordToken: null, resetPasswordExpire: null }
+ - Return success
+ ↓
+If not found:
+ - Return "Invalid or expired token"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### ✅ Implemented Security Measures
+
+1. **Secure Token Generation**
+ - Uses `crypto.randomBytes(32)` - cryptographically secure
+ - 64 hexadecimal characters = 256 bits of entropy
+ - Impossible to guess or brute force
+
+2. **Token Hashing**
+ - Only hashed tokens stored in database
+ - If database is breached, tokens cannot be used
+ - SHA256 hashing for comparison
+
+3. **Time-Limited Tokens**
+ - Expires after 15 minutes
+ - Prevents long-term token reuse
+ - Timestamp verified on every reset attempt
+
+4. **Email Enumeration Protection**
+ - "Forgot password" endpoint always returns success
+ - Never reveals if email exists or not
+ - Prevents attackers from discovering valid emails
+
+5. **One-Time Use**
+ - Token immediately cleared after successful reset
+ - Cannot reuse same token twice
+ - Prevents token replay attacks
+
+6. **Password Security**
+ - Enforced strong password requirements
+ - Hashed with bcrypt (10 salt rounds) before storage
+ - Meets OWASP password standards
+
+7. **No Sensitive Logging**
+ - Tokens never logged in plaintext
+ - Errors are user-safe messages
+ - Internal errors logged only on server
+
+### ⚠️ Important Security Notes
+
+1. **HTTPS Required in Production**
+ - Always use HTTPS in production
+ - Reset links contain tokens that must be encrypted in transit
+ - Set `SMTP_SECURE=true` for email
+
+2. **Email Service Security**
+ - Use strong app passwords (not account password for Gmail)
+ - Rotate SMTP credentials regularly
+ - Keep SMTP_PASSWORD confidential
+
+3. **Token Storage**
+ - Never log reset tokens
+ - Don't expose tokens in API responses
+ - Only return confirmation, not the token
+
+4. **Frontend Considerations**
+ - Store token only in URL, not in localStorage
+ - Clear token from URL after successful reset
+ - Validate token format before sending
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### User-Safe Error Messages
+
+All errors returned to frontend are generic and user-safe:
+
+```typescript
+// What user sees:
+"Invalid or expired reset token"
+"Password must contain at least one uppercase letter"
+"If the email exists, a reset link has been sent."
+
+// What server logs (never shown to user):
+Error in resetPassword: MongoDB connection error
+Error sending email: SMTP timeout
+etc.
+```
+
+### HTTP Status Codes
+
+| Status | Scenario |
+|--------|----------|
+| 200 OK | Forgot password initiated, reset successful |
+| 400 Bad Request | Invalid email, missing token, invalid password |
+| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid or expired token |
+| 500 Internal Server Error | Database or email service error |
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing Steps
+
+#### Test 1: Forgot Password Flow
+```bash
+# 1. Call forgot password endpoint
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/forgot-password \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"email": "test@example.com"}'
+
+# Expected response:
+# {
+# "success": true,
+# "message": "If the email exists, a reset link has been sent.",
+# "data": {}
+# }
+
+# 2. Check email for reset link (contains token)
+# 3. Copy the token from the reset link
+```
+
+#### Test 2: Reset Password with Valid Token
+```bash
+# Use the token from email
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/reset-password/TOKEN_HERE \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"password": "NewPassword123@"}'
+
+# Expected response:
+# {
+# "success": true,
+# "message": "Password reset successful",
+# "data": {}
+# }
+
+# 4. Login with new password to verify
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/user/login \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "password": "NewPassword123@"}'
+```
+
+#### Test 3: Invalid Token
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/reset-password/invalid_token \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"password": "NewPassword123@"}'
+
+# Expected response:
+# {
+# "success": false,
+# "message": "Invalid or expired reset token"
+# }
+```
+
+#### Test 4: Weak Password
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/reset-password/TOKEN_HERE \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"password": "weak"}'
+
+# Expected response:
+# {
+# "success": false,
+# "message": "Password must be at least 8 characters"
+# }
+```

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Email not being sent
+
+1. Check SMTP configuration in `.env`
+2. Verify app password for Gmail (if using Gmail)
+3. Check firewall/network access to SMTP server
+4. Enable "Less secure app access" if using Gmail (not recommended)
+5. Check server logs for email service errors
+
+### Token expired too quickly
+
+- Default expiry is 15 minutes
+- Adjust `ResetPasswordConfig.expiryMinutes` in `user.constant.ts`
+- User should complete reset within the time window
+
+### Password reset fails with "Invalid token"
+
+1. Token may have expired (after 15 minutes)
+2. Token may have already been used
+3. Token may have been modified in transit
+4. Ensure HTTPS is used in production
+
+### Reset link not working from email
+
+1. Check `FRONTEND_URL` environment variable
+2. Ensure frontend can be accessed from user's browser
+3. Verify token is not being double-encoded in email link
+4. Test with direct URL instead of email link
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Rate limiting on forgot password endpoint (prevent spam)
+- [ ] Resend functionality for expired tokens
+- [ ] Password reset history/audit trail
+- [ ] IP-based reset confirmations
+- [ ] Two-factor authentication requirement
+- [ ] Webhook notifications for failed reset attempts
+- [ ] SMS backup reset method

+# Password Reset Implementation - Setup & Integration Guide
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Environment Setup
+
+Add these variables to your `.env` file:
+
+```env
+# Frontend URL (used in reset email links)
+FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
+
+# Email Service Configuration (choose one option below)
+
+# Option A: Gmail with App Password
+SMTP_SERVICE=gmail
+SMTP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
+SMTP_PASSWORD=your-16-char-app-password
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@localmind.com
+
+# Option B: Custom SMTP Server
+SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
+SMTP_PORT=587
+SMTP_SECURE=false
+SMTP_USER=your-smtp-user
+SMTP_PASSWORD=your-smtp-password
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@localmind.com
+```
+
+### 2. Gmail Setup (Recommended)
+
+1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
+2. Select "Mail" and "Windows Computer" (or your device)
+3. Copy the generated 16-character password
+4. Paste into `.env` as `SMTP_PASSWORD`
+
+### 3. Verify Installation
+
+All dependencies are already installed:
+- ✅ `nodemailer` - Email sending
+- ✅ `bcrypt` - Password hashing
+- ✅ `crypto` - Token generation (Node.js built-in)
+
+### 4. Database Migration
+
+The User schema is automatically updated with:
+```typescript
+resetPasswordToken: String | null
+resetPasswordExpire: Date | null
+```
+
+No database migration needed if using MongoDB with Mongoose.
+
+---
+
+## API Usage
+
+### Frontend Integration
+
+#### 1. Forgot Password Page
+
+```html
+
+
+
+```
+
+#### 2. Reset Password Page
+
+```html
+
+
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Using cURL
+
+#### Test 1: Request Password Reset
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/forgot-password \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"email": "test@example.com"}'
+
+# Response:
+# {
+# "success": true,
+# "message": "If the email exists, a reset link has been sent.",
+# "data": {}
+# }
+```
+
+#### Test 2: Reset Password
+```bash
+# Use the token from the email link you received
+TOKEN="your-token-from-email"
+
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/reset-password/$TOKEN \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"password": "NewPassword123@"}'
+
+# Response:
+# {
+# "success": true,
+# "message": "Password reset successful",
+# "data": {}
+# }
+```
+
+#### Test 3: Login with New Password
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/user/login \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "password": "NewPassword123@"}'
+
+# Response should contain token and user data
+```
+
+### Using Postman
+
+1. **Create Forgot Password Request**
+ - Method: POST
+ - URL: `http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/forgot-password`
+ - Body (raw JSON):
+ ```json
+ {"email": "test@example.com"}
+ ```
+
+2. **Create Reset Password Request**
+ - Method: POST
+ - URL: `http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/reset-password/{{token}}`
+ - Body (raw JSON):
+ ```json
+ {"password": "NewPassword123@"}
+ ```
+ - Replace `{{token}}` with the token from email
+
+---
+
+## Security Checklist
+
+Before deploying to production:
+
+- [ ] Set strong `JWT_SECRET` in `.env`
+- [ ] Set strong `SERVER_HMAC_SECRET` in `.env`
+- [ ] Configure SMTP with real email service
+- [ ] Set `FRONTEND_URL` to your production domain
+- [ ] Enable HTTPS (required for production)
+- [ ] Set `NODE_ENV=production`
+- [ ] Enable CORS only for your frontend domain
+- [ ] Regularly rotate SMTP credentials
+- [ ] Monitor failed reset attempts
+- [ ] Set up email rate limiting (recommended)

+
+## Debugging
+
+### Email not sending?
+
+1. Check email configuration in `.env`
+2. For Gmail: Use App Password, not regular password
+3. Check server logs:
+ ```bash
+ npm run dev
+ ```
+4. Verify email service is accessible from your network
+5. Check email in spam/junk folder
+
+### Token invalid/expired?
+
+1. Token expires after 15 minutes
+2. User must complete reset within this time
+3. Token can only be used once
+
+### Password not meeting requirements?
+
+Password must have:
+- 8-20 characters
+- At least 1 uppercase letter (A-Z)
+- At least 1 lowercase letter (a-z)
+- At least 1 number (0-9)
+- At least 1 special character (@$!%*?&)
+
+---
+
+## Customization
+
+### Change Token Expiry Time
+
+Edit `src/api/v1/user/user.constant.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export const ResetPasswordConfig = {
+ tokenLength: 32,
+ expiryMinutes: 15, // ← Change this value
+}
+```
+
+### Change Email Template
+
+Edit `src/utils/email.utils.ts`, modify the `htmlContent` in `sendPasswordResetEmail()` method.
+
+### Add Rate Limiting
+
+```typescript
+// In user.routes.ts
+import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
+
+const forgotPasswordLimiter = rateLimit({
+ windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
+ max: 3, // 3 requests per 15 minutes
+ message: 'Too many password reset requests, please try again later.'
+});
+
+router.post('/v1/auth/forgot-password', forgotPasswordLimiter, userController.forgotPassword);
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Response Examples
+
+### Success Response
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "message": "Password reset successful",
+ "data": {}
+}
+```
+
+### Error Response
+```json
+{
+ "success": false,
+ "message": "Invalid or expired reset token"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+
+1. Check `PASSWORD_RESET_API.md` for detailed documentation
+2. Review error messages in server logs
+3. Verify environment variables are set correctly
+4. Test with cURL before integrating into frontend

+# Frontend Bug Fixes & Implementation Summary
+
+## 🐛 Bugs Fixed
+
+### LoginPage.tsx
+
+**Issue 1: No API Integration**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** The form only logged to console, no actual API call
+- ✅ **Fix:** Integrated `POST /api/v1/user/login` endpoint
+ - Sends email and password to backend
+ - Handles response and error states
+ - Stores JWT token in localStorage
+ - Stores user data in localStorage
+
+**Issue 2: No Error Handling**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** No feedback on login failure
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added error message display
+ - Shows backend error messages to user
+ - User-friendly error display box
+ - Clears on new submission attempt
+
+**Issue 3: No Loading State**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** No indication during API call
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added loading state
+ - Disables all form inputs during submission
+ - Shows loading spinner and "Logging in..." text
+ - Button becomes disabled to prevent double-submission
+
+**Issue 4: No Success Handling**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** No redirect after successful login
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added success handling
+ - Shows success message briefly
+ - Automatically redirects to `/dashboard` after 1 second
+ - Token stored for authentication
+
+**Issue 5: No "Remember Me" Functionality**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** Checkbox exists but doesn't do anything
+- ✅ **Fix:** Implemented remember me feature
+ - Stores email in localStorage when checked
+ - Can be used to pre-fill email on next visit
+
+**Issue 6: Missing useNavigate Hook**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** No redirect capability
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added React Router `useNavigate` hook
+
+---
+
+### ForgotPwd.tsx
+
+**Issue 1: Complex Multi-Step Flow**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** Unnecessarily complex with verification codes and multiple steps
+- ✅ **Fix:** Simplified to single-step email submission
+ - Removed verification code step (not in backend)
+ - Removed password reset step (handled separately)
+ - Direct integration with backend API
+
+**Issue 2: No API Integration**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** Form only logged to console
+- ✅ **Fix:** Integrated `POST /api/v1/auth/forgot-password` endpoint
+ - Sends email to backend
+ - Backend sends reset link via email
+ - Handles response states
+
+**Issue 3: No User Feedback**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** No indication that request was sent
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added success/error message display
+ - Shows confirmation message
+ - Displays helpful info about email timing
+ - Shows link expiration info
+
+**Issue 4: No Loading State**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** No indication during submission
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added loading state with spinner
+
+**Issue 5: No Email Resend Option**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** If user makes a mistake, no way to try again
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added "Try Another Email" button
+ - Resets form for another attempt
+ - Clear error/success messages
+
+**Issue 6: No Navigation Feedback**
+
+- ❌ **Problem:** User doesn't know what to do after email sent
+- ✅ **Fix:** Added confirmation page
+ - Shows "Check Your Email" message
+ - Auto-redirects to login after 5 seconds
+ - Manual redirect button available
+ - Info about 15-minute link expiration
+

+# Quick Reference - Password Reset Implementation
+
+## 🎯 What Was Built
+
+Complete backend implementation for password reset functionality in LocalMind.
+
+---
+
+## 📍 Two Main Endpoints
+
+### 1. Forgot Password
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/auth/forgot-password
+Body: { "email": "user@example.com" }
+Response: { "success": true, "message": "If the email exists, a reset link has been sent." }
+```
+
+### 2. Reset Password
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/auth/reset-password/:token
+Body: { "password": "NewPassword123@" }
+Response: { "success": true, "message": "Password reset successful" }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Quick Setup
+
+### 1. Add to .env
+
+```env

+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Key Info
+
+**Token Expiry:** 15 minutes
+**Password Requirements:** 8-20 chars, uppercase, lowercase, number, special char
+**Token Size:** 64 hex characters (256 bits)
+**Email Service:** Supports Gmail and custom SMTP
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Security Checklist
+
+Before going to production:
+
+- [ ] Set strong `JWT_SECRET`
+- [ ] Configure real SMTP service
+- [ ] Use HTTPS only
+- [ ] Set `NODE_ENV=production`
+- [ ] Set `FRONTEND_URL` to your domain
+- [ ] Enable CORS for frontend only
+- [ ] Rotate SMTP credentials
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Frontend Integration
+
+### Forgot Password Page
+
+```javascript
+fetch('/api/v1/auth/forgot-password', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+ body: JSON.stringify({ email }),
+})
+```
+
+### Reset Password Page
+
+```javascript
+fetch(`/api/v1/auth/reset-password/${token}`, {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+ body: JSON.stringify({ password }),
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting
+
+**Email not sent?**
+→ Check SMTP config in .env
+→ Verify Gmail app password
+
+**Token invalid?**
+→ Token expires after 15 min
+→ Token can only be used once
+
+**Password requirements?**
+→ 8-20 chars
+→ Must have uppercase, lowercase, number, special char

+ -d '{"email": "test@example.com"}'
+```
+
+### 4. Check Email & Get Token
+
+- Email arrives with reset link
+- Token is in the reset link URL
+- Token expires in 15 minutes
+
+### 5. Test Reset Password
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/reset-password/TOKEN \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"password": "NewPassword123@"}'
+```

+
+---
+
+## ✨ Database Changes
+
+```typescript
+// New fields in User schema:
+{
+ resetPasswordToken: String | null // Stores hashed token

+}
+
+// Notes:
+// - Both fields excluded from default queries (select: false)
+// - Both default to null
+// - Only populated during password reset process
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+### Quick Test Commands
+
+```bash
+# Test 1: Request password reset
