Reset password lnot working anymore

    Hello,

    When all users are forced to use Clef and an override link is created for exceptional cases, the reset/redefine password functionality (on the login override page) stops working. It seems Clef has caused this.

    Even if I want/would like all users to use Clef, I cannot force them. Having the override link is a solution for accomodating special users who, for some reason, cannot use Clef. But not letting these special users change their own password seems to me like a bug or, at least, an unwanted behavior.

    Please clarify this situation … you might see something that I am not seeing.

    best regards,
    Giovanni

    Hi Giovanni,

    You are correct regarding the functionality: with the disable passwords for all users option turned on, password resets are disabled whether or not the override URL or ordinary login script URL is used to load wp-login.php.

    This is intentional functionality (i.e., 2.4.0 did not introduce a bug) that is designed to defend against account takeover from email breaches. However, if adding password resets via the override URL is a feature that you and many others would like to see added, there’s room to discuss the merits of doing so. I’ve opened an issue for discussing it here if you’d like to chime in.
