Summary of Changes

Hello @AvaneeshKesavan, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a comprehensive 'Forgot Password' feature, addressing issue #58. It provides a complete solution from backend API endpoints for token generation and password updates to a user-friendly frontend interface for requesting and completing password resets. The changes ensure that users can securely regain access to their accounts by receiving a unique reset link via email and setting a new password.

Highlights

• Forgot Password Backend API: New FastAPI endpoints have been added for initiating a password reset request (generating a token and sending an email) and for handling the actual password reset using a provided token.
• Database Schema Update: The UserDB model now includes fields for reset_token and reset_token_expiry to securely manage password reset requests, along with a new user_models.py file to define this model.
• Frontend User Interface: Dedicated frontend pages (forgot-password.tsx and [token].tsx) have been implemented to allow users to request a password reset and subsequently set a new password using the received token.
• Email Integration: The backend now integrates with smtplib to send password reset links to users' email addresses, utilizing environment variables for email configuration.
• Frontend API Configuration: A new .env file has been added to the frontend to configure the NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL, ensuring proper communication with the backend API.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a "Forgot Password" feature, integrating both backend and frontend components. The backend logic in FastAPI correctly handles secure token generation and password hashing. The frontend adds the necessary pages using Next.js and React. The implementation is generally solid, particularly the security measure of using a generic response to prevent user enumeration. However, there are several areas for improvement to make the code more robust and production-ready. Key feedback points include moving hardcoded configuration values to environment variables, enhancing error handling to avoid leaking implementation details, and improving frontend semantics for better accessibility.
