I would like to manually send a password reset request to a specific user (not the one currently logged in) from within a controller. I did some digging around in the Laravel code and it seems like I should be calling postEmail(Request $request) in ResetsPasswords, but I can't seem to figure out how to get access to the right PasswordController instance to call it.

Why not just something like this for your controller:
<?php
namespace Illuminate\Foundation\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Mail\Message;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;
class YourController extends Controller
{
public function sendEmail()
{
$credentials = ['email' => $email_address];
$response = Password::sendResetLink($credentials, function (Message $message) {
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
});
switch ($response) {
case Password::RESET_LINK_SENT:
return redirect()->back()->with('status', trans($response));
case Password::INVALID_USER:
return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans($response)]);
}
}
}
You don't really explain the context of how you want to send this, so adjust accordingly.

Thanks - this got me on the right track! I just edited the post to make it clear that the first argument to sendResetLink is supposed to be an array of the form
['email' => $email_address]

Works very well.
Thanks to Mariusz Kurman, I only added token to his answer. this works just fine:
$user = User::where('email', request()->input('email'))->first();
$token = Password::getRepository()->create($user);
$user->sendPasswordResetNotification($token);

Complete control for Laravel 5.5:
$user = User::where('email', request()->input('email'))->first();
$token = Password::getRepository()->create($user);
Mail::send(['text' => 'emails.password'], ['token' => $token], function (Message $message) use ($user) {
$message->subject(config('app.name') . ' Password Reset Link');
$message->to($user->email);
});

Cheers for the Password::getRepository()->create(); Also, this worked on 5.4 as well.

Same as @SuperNOVA: thanks, and it also works on 5.8.

And here’s the link
href to put in the mail: {{ route('nova.password.reset', ['token' => $token ]) }}

Password::getRepository()->create($user) and not just Password::createToken($user) - see src github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.4/src/Illuminate/Auth/…The easiest way:
$token = Str::random(60);
$user = User::where('email', request()->input('email'))->first();
$user->sendPasswordResetNotification($token);
And if you want to edit your e-mail manually:
php artisan vendor:publish
select "11" gives you:
/resources/views/vendor/notifications/email.blade.php

You're using a '$token' variable that's not defined anywhere.
At least since Laravel 8 (and still valid on Laravel 11):
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;
Password::sendResetLink(['email' => $email_of_the_user]);

Use this code for send password reset link. here i am API Route for this.
$this->validate($request, [
'user_id' => 'required|int',
]);
$user = User::find($request->user_id);
if( $user )
{
$credentials = ['email' => $user->email];
$response = Password::sendResetLink($credentials, function (Message $message) {
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
});
switch ($response) {
case Password::RESET_LINK_SENT:
return response()->json([
'status' => 'success',
'message' => 'Password reset link send into mail.',
'data' =>''], 201);
case Password::INVALID_USER:
return response()->json([
'status' => 'failed',
'message' => 'Unable to send password reset link.'
], 401);
}
}
return response()->json([
'status' => 'failed',
'message' => 'user detail not found!'
], 401);
for Web View :
$response = Password::sendResetLink($credentials, function (Message $message) {
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
});
switch ($response) {
case Password::RESET_LINK_SENT:
return redirect()->back()->with('status', trans($response));
case Password::INVALID_USER:
return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans($response)]);
}
use ResetsPasswords;inside your controller and then calling the relevant method from the trait?use ResetsPasswords;and$this->postEmail($request);. There is no output; neither error nor success but I never receive an email.
