How to Check if Reset Password Token is Valid in Laravel

When working on user authentication, ensuring the security of password resets is crucial. One common issue that developers encounter is verifying if a reset password token is valid. This is particularly challenging when the token received in the request is decrypted, while the token stored in the database remains encrypted.

In this guide, we'll tackle a real-life scenario faced by a developer and guide you through the solution step-by-step. Let's dive into it!

The Problem

In Laravel, when users request a password reset, an encrypted token is generated and stored in the password_resets table along with the user's email. However, when checking the validity of the token, the token received in the request is in decrypted form. This creates a challenge when you need to determine if the token exists in the database.

Here’s a simplified view of the scenario:

Request Data:

Email: asd@ asd.com

Token: 6afa1b987d67bfbb9a599a3e30c45942a71b1e518d7406dbcf3b3266d689f732

Database Data:

Email: asd@ asd.com

Token: $2y$10$QNKyX42nm4W1MHZdeIUmBuNimeftiDnQQUCyZfDDgTwlbiRL//hsO

The goal is to check if the decrypted token from the request matches the encrypted token stored in the database.

The Solution

Step 1: Use the Hasher Contract

To effectively verify the token, you should utilize Laravel's built-in Hasher functionality. This will allow you to check if the decrypted token corresponds to the encrypted one without manually attempting to decrypt or compare them directly.

Step 2: Update Your Controller

Modify the corresponding controller where password reset logic is handled (often in ForgetPasswordController or a similar controller). Here’s how you can implement the solution:

Step 3: Breakdown of the Code

Hasher Dependency: In the constructor, we inject the HasherContract which provides the hashing functionalities needed.

Fetching Token from Database: We query the password_resets table to find a record that matches the provided email.

Checking Token Existence: If no record is found, we return false.

Validating Tokens: The check() method from the hasher is used to compare the decrypted token from the request with the encrypted token from the database. If they match, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Conclusion

By following this approach, you can effectively check if a reset password token is valid in your Laravel application. This ensures that only valid tokens are permitted during the password reset process, enhancing your application's security.
