To add a password forgot functionality in an MVC C# application, you can follow these general steps: Create a Forgot Password View : Design a view where users can enter their email address to receive instructions on resetting their password. Controller Logic : Implement controller logic to handle the submission of the email address from the Forgot Password View. Verify Email : Check if the entered email address exists in your database. If it does, generate a unique token for resetting the password and store it in the database along with an expiration time. Send Reset Email : Send an email to the user's email address with a link containing the unique token generated in the previous step. Reset Password View : Create a view where users can reset their password by entering a new one. Controller Logic for Reset Password : Implement controller logic to handle the submission of the new password along with the token. Verify Token : Check if the token provided by the user matches the one stored in the database and if it hasn't expired. Update Password : If the token is valid, update the password for the user in the database with the new password provided by the user.
