Password Update

Peak supports secure password updates directly from the User Dashboard, accessible via the profile dropdown menu.

This feature is built on Laravel Jetstream and provides users with a simple interface to change their password safely, with backend validation and customizable rules.

How It Works​

When a user submits a new password, Jetstream invokes the following action:

App\Actions\Fortify\UpdateUserPassword

This class handles:

  • Validating the user's current password
  • Enforcing password complexity rules
  • Updating the password securely

Password Validation Rules​

The password validation logic is defined in the shared trait:

App\Actions\Fortify\PasswordValidationRules

This trait applies consistent password rules across:

  • Registration
  • Password Reset
  • Password Update

Internally, it uses the Laravel\Fortify\Rules\Password rule object. You can customize password security requirements using chainable methods:

use Laravel\Fortify\Rules\Password;

(new Password)->length(10)                   // Minimum 10 characters
              ->requireUppercase()          // At least one uppercase letter
              ->requireNumeric()            // At least one number
              ->requireSpecialCharacter();  // At least one special character

You can modify this logic globally by updating the trait.
