Hi ,


 I have recently changed password reset process, where i am skipping a step of sending a link to the user to confirm their account before system send thiem a temporary password.


Instead I send users if they exist in the database a link which allow them to reset the password directly by taking them to password reset page.


 this reset password page consist of username and two password rest field ,

Issue: this password reset link consist of id and unix  time stamp which can be hacked by any one who knows how moodle works.

"reset_password.php?id=98&val=1554118200"


How can i encrypt above information and avoid this issue.


Please advice


 Kind Regards


Prashu
