    user_id INT NOT NULL,
    user_type ENUM('admin', 'member') NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    token VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    expires_at DATETIME NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    used TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
    UNIQUE KEY unique_user (user_id, user_type),

## ๐Ÿš€ Production Tips

1. **Use HTTPS** - Protect reset tokens in transit
2. **Rate Limiting** - Prevent abuse (max 3 requests/hour)
3. **Email Logging** - Track reset attempts
4. **Monitor Tokens** - Clean up expired tokens (cron job)
5. **User Notifications** - Alert on successful reset

---

## ๐Ÿ“ Maintenance

### **Clean Up Old Tokens (Optional Cron Job):**

```sql
DELETE FROM password_resets 
WHERE expires_at < NOW() 
OR (used = 1 AND created_at < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 7 DAY))
```

Run weekly to keep table clean.
