Class auth.password does not exist in route POST /password/email

Question

When I attempt to reset a users password I run into a fatal error once the form filled and posted to /password/email

I'm running Laravel 5.2

ReflectionException in Container.php line 738: Class auth.password does not exist

All of my views are in place and password_resets exists in the database.

NOTE: this fatal error only occurs when the user fills out the "reset password email form" and hits submit.

Here is the password controller, which is a stock controller.

<?php

 namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

 use Auth;
 use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
 use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords;

 class PasswordController extends Controller
 {
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Password Reset Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller is responsible for handling password reset requests
| and uses a simple trait to include this behavior. You're free to
| explore this trait and override any methods you wish to tweak.
|
*/

use ResetsPasswords;

/**
 * Create a new password controller instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest');
}
 }

Update: Route

Route::controllers([
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
 ]);

share your routs file please , add route::auth(); to your routes file — Achraf Khouadja
try to remove that and add Route::auth(); insite a route groupe that have a web middlware (i heard its dropped in recent versions but give it a shot) route::auth is a shortcut for all auth routes (check my answer) — Achraf Khouadja

This is how you can do it

routes.php

Route::get  ('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController@getEmail');
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController@postEmail');

// Password reset routes...
   Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\PasswordController@getReset');
  Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController');

Class auth.password does not exist in route POST /password/email
