Class App\Http\Controllers\Auth\Request does not exist. Laravel 5.3

Question

I am using Laravel 5.3 My ForgotPasswordController looks like that:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Base\BaseController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\SendsPasswordResetEmails;

class ForgotPasswordController extends BaseController
{

use SendsPasswordResetEmails;
public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest');
}
public function showLinkRequestForm()
{
    $title = $this->title;
    $appName = $this->appName;
    $action = $this->action;
    return view('password.forgotPassword')->with(compact('title', 'appName', 'action'));
}
}

ResetPasswordController code :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Base\BaseController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords;

class ResetPasswordController extends BaseController
{

use ResetsPasswords;
 public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest');
}

public function showResetForm(Request $request, $token = null)
{
    return view('passwords.resetPassword')->with(
        ['token' => $token, 'email' => $request->email]
    );
}
 public function reset(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'token' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
    ]);

    // Here we will attempt to reset the user's password. If it is successful we
    // will update the password on an actual user model and persist it to the
    // database. Otherwise we will parse the error and return the response.
    $response = $this->broker()->reset(
        $this->credentials($request), function ($user, $password) {
            $this->resetPassword($user, $password);
        }
    );

    // If the password was successfully reset, we will redirect the user back to
    // the application's home authenticated view. If there is an error we can
    // redirect them back to where they came from with their error message.
    return $response == Password::PASSWORD_RESET
                ? $this->sendResetResponse($response)
                : $this->sendResetFailedResponse($request, $response);
}

}

My Admin Route :

Route::group(['namespace' => 'Auth'], function() {
Route::get('/forgotpassword/reset', 'ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm');
Route::post('/forgotpassword/email', 'ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail');
Route::get('/password/reset/{token}', 'ResetPasswordController@showResetForm');
Route::post('/password/reset', 'ResetPasswordController@reset');
});

BaseController Code :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Base;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;


class BaseController extends Controller
{
protected $appName = 'Stackoverflow';
protected $title = 'Welcome to Stackoverflow';
protected $action;
}

I can send the link to my email, but once I click the link/button. It throws an error like above. Any idea ?

You are not using the required namespace, try to use the following in your controller:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

You are getting the error due to the fact that your script tries to load the Request class from the current namespace :App\Http\Controllers\Auth
