Key Features

• Requires Google reCAPTCHA v3.
• Sends a password reset link to the user's email address.
• Validates user input and checks for reCAPTCHA success.
• Displays appropriate messages based on success or failure.

Functionality

• When a user submits their email address, the script performs the following steps:
  • Verifies reCAPTCHA if a reCAPTCHA response is present.
  • Checks if the email address is associated with an existing account.
  • Sends a password reset link to the user's email address.
• The script displays success or error messages based on the outcome of the password reset request.

Technical Details

• The script uses the following files:
  • request_password_reset.php
  • request_password_reset.js
• It includes the following files from the library directory:
  • footer.php
  • header.php
• The script connects to a database to verify user information.
• It uses PHP's mail() function to send the password reset link.

Usage

1. Place the request_password_reset.php script in the auth directory.
2. Include the necessary JavaScript file (request_password_reset.js) in the HTML template.
3. Display the form to users who want to reset their passwords.
