Laravel Auth reset password with custom messages

Question

I'm using the Laravel Auth but I would like to have custom error messages for the passwor reset.

With the defautl configurations the messages are like:

if the user dont fill the email field it appears "validation.required" or "The email field is required." with "en" language in app.php.
if the user fill the email with an email that dont exist in the users table it appears "passwords.user" or "We can't find a user with that e-mail address." with "en" language in app.php.
if the user fill the email with an email with invalid format it appears "validation.email" or "The email must be a valid email address." with "en" language in app.php.

But I want to have custom messages like:

$rules = [
    'email' => 'required|email|exists:users.email'
];

$messages = [
    'email.required' => 'The email is required.',
    'email.email' => 'The email needs to have a valid format.',
    'email.exists' => 'The email is not registered in the system.',
];


$this->validate($request, $rules, $messages);

Do you know how to have custom messages for the reset password?

ResetPasswordController use ResetsPasswords trait and it has 2 methods (rules and validationErrorMessages) that deal with validation rule and its message. If you want to change validation and its message then overwrite both function in ResetPasswordController.

Define your rules in it

protected function rules()
{
    return [
            'token' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
    ];
}

Define your custom message

protected function validationErrorMessages()
{
   return [];
}
