Description

  • Verify that encryption functions correctly after a password reset.
  • There is currently no email configured for Mellow Tools; one may need to be created. If contributing, use environment variables to manage email credentials.
  • Allow users to reset their password without requiring login.
  • Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the forgot password flow following industry best practices.
  • A simpler approach for forgot password could be to use MFA when enabled for the user; otherwise, an alternative method will be required.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing authentication logic in the codebase. Look for any password reset or token handling code. Understand how encryption is implemented. Plan to add email service configuration (environment variables) and integrate MFA if applicable. Test the flow end to end.
