The link in your database is encrypted.

In order to read the message and get the link, the easiest way to go is (in this order):

  • Delete the entry from password_resets
  • Open your .env file and change APP_LOG_LEVEL to debug (if not already the case)
  • Open your .env file and change MAIL_DRIVER to log (if not already the case)
  • Open directory /storage/logs and delete all files except .gitignore.

Then fill in the password reset form again. The email that Firefly III will try to send is in your /storage/logs directory. Just open the log files, and the link will be there.
