title: How to Email user new link to create a password
body: <p>According to this other post, I need to:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4763719/php-password-recovery">PHP password recovery</a>
  You don't 'recover' passwords. What you do is one of 2 things.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Email the user a link to create a new password, overriding the current one.</li>
  <li>Email the user a randomly generated password, then ask them to change it.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I've bitten off a huge project, and I desperately request working examples, or at least your best advice on how to do this; for ex: #1 email user link to create a new password, overriding the current one. I am told the db has password salting, and uses Blowfish. I really do not know exactly what that means, and I am going over the code to try to figure out how to add a "Reset Password?" link to their current login page.</p>
  
  <p>Then, if you are so inclined, could you assist with how to email the user a randomly generated pw, then as them to change it [#2 above?</p>
  
  <p>The tasks are as-is and I don't know what code to provide so far; I'm hoping someone who has done this can show me what works, and I will try to implement it. I appreciate your help!</p>
