Implementing a secure password reset in Node.js
Blog post from LogRocket
The guide provides a comprehensive tutorial on implementing a secure password reset feature in Node.js using Express.js and MongoDB. It outlines the necessary steps, including setting up the project environment, creating a structured workflow for the password reset process, and building user and token models to manage user data securely. Key components such as hashing passwords with bcrypt and generating secure token links using Node.js's crypto API are detailed to ensure robust security measures. The guide further explains setting up services for user signup, password reset requests, and the actual password reset, along with testing these processes using Postman. It emphasizes the importance of digital security and suggests additional measures like two-factor authentication and using third-party login services to enhance user data protection. The completed project is available on GitHub for further exploration.
