hello guys, i am creating the reset password cycle in my laravel app and i want to limit the number of times it can be done per day, i thought of using Rate limiting, but i want to limit it on the database level for even more control, so i think i should create another table that references the users table by id and has a count and i can run a cron job that resets this table count per day
what do you think is the beset approach?
i would add two columns, last_change (date) and change_count (int)
on entering the function, if last change is today and count is already max then quit
if not at max change password and increase count
if different date set to today and set count to 1
No cleanup required
@Snapey okay thank yo a lot, i was reluctant on which approach i should take
