How to generate reset password token

I am using devise gem for authentication.

In my application admin will create the users, so I want the user's reset password link when admin creates users.

This is my action:-

def create
   @user = User.new(user_params)
   @user.password = '123123123'
   @user.password_confirmation = '123123123'
   if @user.save
         @user.update_attributes(:confirmation_token => nil,:confirmed_at => Time.now,:reset_password_token => (0...16).map{(65+rand(26)).chr}.join,:reset_password_sent_at => Time.now)
       UserMailer.user_link(@user).deliver
       redirect_to users_path
     else
    render :action => "new"
   end
end

This is my link to reset a user's password

But I am getting reset password token is invalid when I open the link and update the password.

Solution

  • You can use user.send_reset_password_instructions for that.
