Hi,
 
I'm building a forgot password feature for my first secure backend.
 
I want to email a url containing an encrypted parameter to the user which will lead them to a password reset form that can only be accessed via the url with the encrypted parameter.
 
But what if the email gets intercepted?? then anyone who intercepts it will have the link to the reset page.
 
Is there a way I can send a secure email? I know nothing about email really. Is it even possible to send a secure email? Can I encrypt the email, will that help? But if it is encrypted then how does the recipient read it?
 
your help is greatly appreciated ,
 
Duncan
