Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When invoking the $this->verificationToken->create() method, it consistently sets the expiration for 7 days. However, there is a requirement to configure the token expiry for a different duration, such as 1 day.
Describe the solution you'd like
We can pass expiry time as argument of create() method here
Describe alternatives you've considered
- N/A
Additional context
We have a requirement to set token expiration at specific intervals, like 15 minutes or 1 day. To address this, I am suggesting an enhancement.
