I. Overview

This user story focuses on implementing a password reset feature for registered users. The feature allows users to request a password reset email, which contains a link to a page where they can set a new password. The implementation involves backend logic for generating and sending password reset emails, a front-end page for entering a new password, and backend logic for validating password reset tokens. The feature enhances user experience by providing a secure and convenient way for users to regain access to their accounts in case they forget their passwords.
