Summary
This PR corrects the forgot password feature, which previously behaved like a change password flow. The updated implementation introduces an OTP verification step for better security and UX. OTPs are sent via email using Nodemailer, and the frontend UI has been updated to support the new flow.
What’s Changed
Backend
Fixed forgot password route logic to send OTP instead of directly updating password.
Integrated Nodemailer to send OTP emails to registered users.
Added OTP verification endpoint before allowing password reset.
Frontend
src/pages/ForgotPassword.jsx:
Updated UI to collect OTP after email submission.
Added API call to verify OTP before navigating to reset password form.
Shows status messages and handles error cases (invalid/expired/missing OTP).
src/utils/apiConfig.js: Added VERIFY_OTP endpoint.
How to Test
Navigate to /forgot-password.
Enter a registered email → click Send Code.
Check email for OTP (sent via Nodemailer).
Enter OTP in the app:
Correct OTP → navigates to /reset-password/:token.
Incorrect / expired / missing OTP → shows error message.
Set a new password → verify success.
