laravel 10 fortify password reset

Question

I am using the laravel 10 / Fortify RestUserPassword flow in my login template. Step 2 leads to the email request as per below:

        <form action="{{route('password.email')}}" method="post">
            @csrf
            <div class="input-group mb-3">
                <input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" id="email" name="email">
                <div class="input-group-append">
                    <div class="input-group-text border-left-0 rounded-right" style="border-color:#006600;">
                        <span class="text-darkgreen fas fa-envelope"></span>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-12">
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-darkgreen btn-block">Renouveler votre mot de passe</button>
                </div>

            </div>
        </form>

This works correctly and sends the email to the user requesting the password reset...

I am trying to reproduce this so that the logged-in Admin can also re-issue the email to a currently-edited user like the below:

<form action="{{route('password.email')}}" method="post" class="form-row">
     @csrf
     <input type="hidden" id="email" name="email" value="{{email-of-the-currently-edited-user}}" >
     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-link text-darkgreen">Générer un nouveau mot de passe</button>
      <br/>
      <small class="text-muted">un mail sera adressé à l'utilisateur pour modifier son mot de passe...</small>
</form>

And this...fails to send the email to the given user!!

Answer 1

You can set other custom route for admin. in your route:

Route::post('/admin/reset-link', [AuthController::class, 'sendResetLink'])->name('admin.reset-link');

in AuthController:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;

public function sendResetLink(Request $request)
{
    $response = Password::sendResetLink(
        ['email' => $request->input('email')]
    );

    return $response == Password::RESET_LINK_SENT
                ? back()->with(['status' => __($response)])
                : back()->withErrors(['email' => __($response)]);
}

in your blade:

<form action="{{route('admin.reset-link')}}" method="post" class="form-row">
    @csrf
    <input type="hidden" id="email" name="email" value="{{email-of-the-currently-edited-user}}">
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-link text-darkgreen">Générer un nouveau mot de passe</button>
    <br/>
    <small class="text-muted">un mail sera adressé à l'utilisateur pour modifier son mot de passe...</small>
</form>
