How to create a custom forgot password screen for your FlutterFlow app?

Before starting this tutorial, you must ensure that you have some basic knowledge about FlutterFlow, Firebase, its Firestore database, and basic front-end web development.

Here are the steps you need to follow to create a custom forgot password just for your FlutterFlow application:

Step 1: Start FlutterFlow Project

In the first step, you need to log in to your FlutterFlow account. After successful login, you need to create a new project, or if you have an existing project in which you want to implement the forgot password feature, you should open that project.

Step 2: Create a Firebase Collection

Next, go to your Firebase console. Click on 'Cloud Firestore', and then 'Create database'. Add in a new collection called 'Users'. This collection will store email and password data.

Step 3: FlutterFlow Authentication Settings

Inside your FlutterFlow project, go to the sidebar menu and click 'Settings', then move to the 'Authentication' tab. Here, you need to enable email and password authentication by toggling the button to 'ON'. Save your changes.

Step 4: Implement Forgot Password Action in User Interface

Next, you need to go to your login screen in the project. Click on the 'Actions' tab in the 'Forgot Password' button properties. You need to set the action to be a function implementing the forgot password. Set this function to be 'Reset Password'.

Step 5: Customize Forgot Password Dialog

Afterwards, you need to go back to the login screen and click on the button for the dialog. This will open the properties for the dialog. In the 'Fields' section, remove all existing fields and add in new fields. These fields will consist of the email field (a text field with 'Reset Email' as the label), along with the reset button. Set the email field to an 'email' type and require an entry.

For the Reset button, set its action to be 'Reset Password' and the parameter to be the text entered in the reset email field. Set the 'On Success' field to close the dialog and the 'On Error' field to show an error message. Save your changes.

Step 6: Customize Email Template in Firebase

Finally, you need to customize the reset password email to match the look and feel of your app.

Go to the Firebase console, click on 'Authentication' and 'Templates'. Select the 'Password reset' option. Here, you can customize the subject, the message, and send a test email to confirm that it matches your desired look and feel.

You can also include a link to your app in the email, so users can quickly access it after resetting their password. Save your changes once you're done.

So, there you have it. Your custom forgot password screen for your FlutterFlow app should now be functioning properly. Always make sure to test the function a few times to ensure it's working as expected.
