The password reset should use an email, like most websites. However I was unable to host an email service on my computer, and I don't have a domain, so I suppose anybody could implement email if they wanted. (If you do can you please submit a pull request, I would like to know how).

Edit: this is a security flaw because anybody can reset anybody elses password by just knowing their username and email
