Voyager: forgot email/password functionality

Does voyager have forgot email/password functionality especially when the main admin account forgot login credentials. it is good as the whole system is nothing if that happens.

Am I right in thinking that you still have access to the database through the usual Artisan commands on the command line?

If so, you should be able to change the admin user password this way if you forget it.

I tried using tinker, but when I insert value in password column, it literally inserted the password. it is not hashed. and I cant logged in using it.

[simonhunt]

So, when you update the model in Tinker you need to encrypt the password manually.

This means your command should look something like:

$user = User::find(1);
$user->password = bcrypt('newPassword');
$user->save();

And that should do it.

What @simonhunt said should do it for you.

However, it has been requested multiple times to have the option to allow users to recover their passwords directly on the Voyager login page.
Personally, I don't have time for that now - but we are open to pull requests.

Apologies everyone! I have made a start on something and then work took priority. I'll open a PR with my current WIP this evening and see if I can get it wrapped up over the next few days.
