Password reset for non admin users

[barren veldt]

I'm creating a different user collection for a specific user group which have fewer permissions than a regular user and shouldn't be able to interact with the admin area at all.

So I created a collection with the auth: true option, this all works fine. I even managed to create a custom login form.

After that I tried creating a "password forgot" page, but here is where I hit a snag. The password reset email send successfully and the link in the email works but when I try to reset the password I get the error token expired/invalid. Weird as I just created the token, so I checked the database (MongoDB) and there is the value "Thu Jan 01 1970 00:06:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)" in the "resetPasswordExpiration" field.

Payload version: 3.4.0

I've found the issue.

The default Payload reset password page (which is linked in the password reset email) uses the collection that is defined in the payload.config.ts, using another collection doesn't seem to work
