// routes/index.js
const { updatePassword } = require('keystone-forgotten-password');
 
 
exports = module.exports = function (app) {
  app.get('/', routes.views.index);
  app.use(middelwares.authenticated, updatePassword()); // route is added to /update-password
  // alternatively
  app.use('/profile', middlewares.authenticated, updatePassword());
  
  // forgottenPassword checks by default req.user from your custom middleware, want to check a different property i.e. req.appUser?
  // want to send an email?
  app.use('/profile', middlewares.authenticated, updatePassword({
  	userRequest: 'appUser',
  	onChangePasswordEmail: (locals) => sendChangePasswordEmail(locals),
  }));
