Password not resetting in laravel 5.2

Question

Here is a snap of ResetPasswords class:

$response = Password::broker($broker)->reset($credentials, function ($user, $password) {
    $this->resetPassword($user, $password);
});

If I print the $response variable it always returns password.token , but it should return password.reset instead.

Where is the problem?

Answer 1

passwords.reset is returned when the password is successfully reset.

passwords.token is returned when the reset token is not valid.

Other possible return values are:

passwords.user is returned when the user cannot be found.

passwords.password is returned when the password does not pass validation.

You can see the password broker reset function here (Illuminate\\Auth\\Passwords\\PasswordBroker::reset) .

That function calls the validateReset() method (shown here (Illuminate\\Auth\\Passwords\\PasswordBroker::validateReset) ).

The values of the constants returned by that method are defined on the password broker interface (contract). You can view this here (Illuminate\\Contracts\\Auth\\PasswordBroker) .
