    You may wonder why this is a problem. In the case of this code, we're sending the user's username to a third-party service. While username isn't inherently sensitive data, it certainly has to potential to be and should be treated as such. It's better to use IDs that can't identify the user if the third party—in this case, honeybadger—is breached. You can see the full list of supported data types, sorted by category, on the docs.

    If you're using a third-party error reporting system (such as Flare, Bugsnag, Honeybadger, etc), you'll want to ensure that none of the OAuth related keys or credentials are submitted during a bug report. For example, you'll want to make sure that the user's twitter_token and twitter_refresh_token aren't submitted. The majority of error reporting systems provide some sort of functionality to redact specific fields or data from the data submitted to them, so you'll need to make sure that you read the necessary documentation to make sure you have them configured correctly.

    If you input a valid email of the users you created in the system and submit the form. A POST request to http://localhost:3000/users/password will be made. Then a reset password mail as described in the previous section will be sent out. You can find that mail in the terminal running rails server. If you have a gem like letter_opener, you can see that mail shown in your browser.
  • Using Action Mailer to Send Emails from a Rails App

    Another great option is to use the letter opener gem. This is a great tool to use in development, because instead of the app actually sending the email, instead it opens a new tab on your browser with the email view. This is really helpful to see what is going on with the email as it happens. If you are using the letter opener gem, you would need to install it:
