Generate temporary URL to reset password

Question

I am looking to implement a Forgot Password feature on my website. I like the option where an email containing a temporary one-time use URL that expires after some time is sent

Answer 1

Depending on your needs, you could encrypt information, in a format similar to the following format

(UserId)-(ExpireDate)

Encrypt the data, make that the link, then decrypt the data and take action from there...

Crude, but most likely usable, and not requiring DB usage
