Reset password manually by answering the security questions - Laravel - laravel

Question

I want to implement locally forgot password functionality by answering a few security questions where user can reset his/her password without sending reset links via emails.
Here I have tried the below code, in updatePassword.blade.php the email, password, and password-confirm validation is not working so I implement it in the UserControler when I put the email address which is not in the database, or when I put the miss-matched password in the password and password-confirm inputs it throws the below error, but if I put the correct email and password with the matched password in the password and password-confirm inputs it resets my password, I don't know what is wrong.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

try this
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|string|email',
'password' => 'required|min:6',
'password_confirmation' => 'required|same:password'
]);

Answer 2

I found the solution by manually setting the validation messages
Code in the controller
public function getview(Request $request)
{
$user=new User();
$anserone= $request->answerQuestionOne;
$anstwo = $request->answerQuestionTwo;
return view('auth.question',compact('user','anserone','anstwo'));
}
public function chekQuestions(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|string|email',
'answerQuestionOne' => 'required',
'answerQuestionTwo' => 'required'
]);
$user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
if ( $user == null) {
//
$user=new User();
$user->email= $request->email;
$anserone= $request->answerQuestionOne;
$anstwo = $request->answerQuestionTwo;
Session::flash('message', 'دا ایمل شتون نلری');
return view('auth.question',compact('user','anserone','anstwo'));
}
if ( $user->answerQuestionOne == null || $user->answerQuestionTwo == null) {
//
$user=new User();
$user->email= $request->email;
$anserone= $request->answerQuestionOne;
$anstwo = $request->answerQuestionTwo;
Session::flash('message4', 'هیڅ مورد نشته، لمړی تاسی خپل امنیتی ځوابونه خوندی کړی');
return view('auth.question',compact('user','anserone','anstwo'));
}
if ($user->answerQuestionOne != $request->answerQuestionOne) {
$anserone= $request->answerQuestionOne;
$anstwo = $request->answerQuestionTwo;
Session::flash('message2', 'دپښتنو ځوابونه مو ناسم وو');
return view('auth.question',compact('user','anserone','anstwo'));
}
if ( $user->answerQuestionTwo != $request->answerQuestionTwo) {
$anstwo = $request->answerQuestionTwo;
$anserone= $request->answerQuestionOne;
Session::flash('message3', 'دپښتنو ځوابونه مو ناسم وو');
return view('auth.question',compact('user','anstwo','anserone'));
}
return view('auth.updatePassword',compact('user'));
}
public function updagePassword(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|string|email',
'password' => 'required|min:8'
]);
// $user = User::first();
$user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
if ( $user == null) {
//
$user=new User();
$user->email= $request->email;
// $anserone= $request->answerQuestionOne;
// $anstwo = $request->answerQuestionTwo;
Session::flash('message', 'دا ایمل شتون نلری');
return view('auth.updatePassword',compact('user'));
}
if ($request->password_confirmation != $request->password) {
Session::flash('message3', 'پټ نوم مطابقت نلری');
return view('auth.updatePassword',compact('user'));
}
$user->where('email', $request->email)->update([
'password' => Hash::make($request->password)
]);
return redirect()->route('login');
}
