@Codex723 has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 3rd wave.

I'd like to apply for this issue. Here's my plan:

Forgot Password — /app/auth/forgot-password/page.tsx:

Email input with format validation
POST to /users/forgot-password
Show success message regardless of whether email exists (security best practice)
Loading and error states
Reset Password — /app/auth/reset-password/page.tsx:

Extract and validate reset token from URL params on mount
Handle expired/invalid token with a clear error state
New password + confirm password fields with strength and match validation
POST to /users/reset-password
Redirect to login on success
Please assign this to me!
