    I have sorted it out. There is actually a typo on line 60 of forgot.php.

    For some reason I wrote single quotes. So, I replaced this:

    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS';

    through this:

    $mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS;

    Now, it works and I can send emails to reset my password.
