# Summary: Implement Email Verification and Password Reset

## What Was Accomplished

This plan successfully implemented the complete email verification and password reset functionality to complete the authentication system.

## Files Created

1. **Password Reset API Endpoint**:
   - `src/app/api/auth/reset-password/route.ts` - POST endpoint for resetting passwords

2. **Email Verification API Endpoint**:
   - `src/app/api/auth/verify-email/route.ts` - POST endpoint for verifying email addresses

3. **Authentication Pages**:
   - `src/app/auth/forgot-password/page.tsx` - Forgot password page
   - `src/app/auth/reset-password/page.tsx` - Reset password page  
   - `src/app/auth/verify-email/page.tsx` - Email verification page

## Key Features Implemented

- **Password Reset Flow**: Complete flow from forgot password to reset password with token validation
- **Email Verification Flow**: Complete flow from email verification to account activation
- **Responsive UI**: Clean, minimal interface consistent with TeuxDeux design
- **Client-side Logic**: Form handling, error display, and token extraction from URL
- **URL Parameter Handling**: Extracts reset tokens from URL query parameters
- **Success States**: Shows appropriate success messages and redirects after completion

## Verification Results

All authentication components were tested successfully:
- Password reset API endpoint accepts email, token, and new password
- Email verification API endpoint accepts verification token
- All authentication pages render correctly on various screen sizes
