You can generate a token with:

Devise.token_generator.generate(User, :reset_password_token)

Though this is just a useless string by itself. You need to attach it to the user if you actually want to use it in a link to reset passwords:

user.reset_password_token = hashed_token
user.reset_password_sent_at = Time.now.utc

Then send them an email with the link:

edit_password_url(@user, reset_password_token: @token)
