Laravel reset password is generating 404 page error - php

Question

In my laravel project, i have a forget password system, when i click on forget password and and enter email id , i will recieve password reset link with token on email. But when i clicked on that link its going to 404 page. I have attached sample link which i recieved on email ( https://directory.lifeloveandotherthings.com/public/user/password/reset/1e15c30fcb769f14182cb407861b685bc31a8eb42121b6394049d979beda0753 ).
Following is my codes in routes (web.php)
Route::get('user/password/reset', 'User\UserAuth\ForgotPasswordController#showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.reset');
Route::post('user/password/email', 'User\UserAuth\ForgotPasswordController#sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.reequest');
Route::post('user/password/reset', 'User\UserAuth\ResetPassswordController#reset')->name('password.email');
Route::get('/password/reset/{token}', 'User\UserAuth\ResetPasswordController#showResetForm');
Following is my code in ResetpasswordController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\User\UserAuth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use JsValidator;
class ResetPasswordController extends Controller
{
/*

*/
use ResetsPasswords;
/**

*
* #var string
*/
public $redirectTo = '/user/home';
protected $validationRules = [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255',
'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
];
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
// $this->middleware('user.guest');
}
/**

*
* If no token is present, display the link request form.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param string|null $token
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function showResetForm(Request $request, $token = null)
{
$validator = JsValidator::make($this->validationRules,[],[],'#resetform');
return view('user.auth.passwords.reset')->with(
['token' => $token, 'email' => $request->email, 'validator' => $validator]
);
}
/**
* Get the broker to be used during password reset.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\PasswordBroker
*/
public function broker()
{
return Password::broker('users');
}
/**
* Get the guard to be used during password reset.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard
*/
protected function guard()
{
return Auth::guard('user');
}
}
In this resetpassword link controller i have just checked wether the calling is coming to showResetForm
Function by echo "hello" in that function, but still its returing 404 not found.
What is the problem here

Answer 1

Something I have run into with password resets is if you are still logged into your system it tries to hit the /home route. You might not have this route anymore and gives you

Answer 2

You must have slashes or dots in the generated token and Laravel is interpreting your token parameter as a route. Append this regex [\w\s\-_\/\.\$]+ to your Password Reset Controller route and it will work again.
This is what I do to fix the problem
Route::get( '/user/reset/password/{token?}', 'CustomResetPasswordController#reset' )->where('token', '[\w\s\-_\/\.\$]+');
