Sounds familiar. Also working on a service and the reset password flow is actually the last thing to do before putting it live. In my experience it's not really necessary during a beta/alpha period with a few users, as you just want to test out the features your service is about 👍

Thanks for your comment Wesley.
Well, my post or way of doing this kind of project is not about sacrificing security needs. I would say, that having a PW Reset Flow does not mean, that things are more secure, with or without a framework. Of course, always having in mind, that eg saving a PW need some hashing and salting, as you 100% correclty said. Don't worry, I never would save a PW without that, manually or implemented. :-)
