Password Recovery Feature

rubyonrails-talk

Hello there,

I have an application that allows users to register/login etc. However I have a slight problem in that I cannot reset user's passwords. THis is frustrating to anyone who uses my site as if they forget their account password they are stuck.

On RoR, can anyone recommend a good password recovery feature?

I don't need a full blown authentication set up as I already have login/register working fine.

I just need the right kind of tutorial to follow to allow for users to reset their own passwords moving forward.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks

I think it's certainly worth looking at the authlogic tutorial for this ( http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/16/tutorial-reset-passwords-with-authlogic/ ). There's not really much there's that's specific to authlogic (only the perishable_token stuff which you can easily write yourself)
