**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** In the current version of the application there is no way to reset your password in case you forget it and there is not way to request another OTP either. **Describe the solution you'd like** Implement both the functionalities for a better User experience as these have become the industry standard. **Are you working on this? (Yes/No)** No

Hi @himanshugoyal77 👋, I’d like to propose implementing the Forgot Password + Email OTP Reset feature. There are two possible approaches we can consider: 🔹 Approach 1: Firebase-Only (Built-in Reset Flow) Flow: Use sendPasswordResetEmail() from Firebase Auth. Firebase automatically emails the user a secure reset link. User resets their password directly via Firebase’s hosted flow. Pros: Simple, ready-to-use, highly secure. Zero extra infrastructure needed. Free for unlimited password reset emails. Cons: Link-based reset (not OTP). Cost: Free for small, medium, and large apps. 🔹 Approach 2: AWS Serverless (Custom Email OTP Reset) Flow: User requests password reset → AWS Lambda generates OTP. OTP stored in DynamoDB with 5 min expiry. OTP sent via Amazon SES email. User enters OTP + new password. Lambda verifies OTP → updates password via Firebase Admin SDK. Pros: Fully customizable OTP flow. Cheap, scalable, and serverless. Email OTP is familiar UX for users. Cons: Slightly more setup (Lambda, SES, DynamoDB). Responsibility for OTP security/expiry handling. Cost: AWS SES → 62,000 emails/month free, then $0.10 per 1,000 emails. AWS Lambda + DynamoDB → free tier covers most apps. Example:- Small app (<10k OTP/month) → Free. Medium app (30k OTP/month) → ~$3/month. Large app (100k OTP/month) → ~$10/month. ✅ Both approaches are secure and affordable. If we want fastest implementation → Firebase-only is best. If we want custom OTP experience → AWS serverless flow is ideal. Could you please assign this issue to me? I’d love to implement the solution 🚀 Thanks!
