Overview
A minor improvement that allows customizing the rate limiting of the
user-password.update
route. It would benefit those who want to rate limit the password update route for some reason (I will use it on my project since I like to be as strict as possible with rate limiting). There is no specific security concern here for the specific route other than the fact that it's nice to allow controlling the rate limiting of routes.Testing
Add the line:
on
limiters
section offortify.php
file. Then, hit the password update endpoint twice. You will get a "Too Many Attempts" response for the 2nd request.
