That looks like code for a create method for a password reset. The update method is the one that changes the password stored in the database. e.g.
def create
user = User.find_by(email: params[:email])
user.generate_password_reset_token!
flash[:success] = "Password email sent"
end
def update
@user = User.find_by(password_reset_token: params[:id])
@user.update_attribute(:password_reset_token, nil)
flash[:success] = "Password updated."
end
