    I noticed that when i enable caching password reset links sent by wordpress are considered invalid. So it is not possible for users to change their password. Is this a bug? Or do i need to change a setting? I have noticed this on a couple of websites.

    Are you using any security plugin/rewrite URL for your standard wp-admin/login.php?
    if so, you might exclude that URL from caching.

    No i don’t, but my hoster has a recaptcha in place for the login page.
    At the moment i can’t reproduce the issue anymore but several users have reported the issue, and i saw it happen to myself today.

    On the other hand other users reported to have no problem creating a new password. Could it be related to how ‘old’ the cache is?

    I think it can`t be related to Swift as standard Admin login URLs are excluded from cache in Swift. Is there any other cache layer active? Did you enable Caching for logged in users in Swift?

    No other cache layer and caching for logged in users is disabled.

    Ask your hosting provider if they received similar reports? It might be related to adding an extra security layer with recaptcha in front of WP-login.
