cards Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Short version: Please change the wording in your password reset process so it doesn't say "password recovery". Long version: After getting the email this morning about needing to change passwords, I tried to log in to do so. I haven't visited the forums in...probably over a year, so I wasn't sure what password I had used. After trying a few and failing, I decided to use the "password recovery" option. After following the steps, I got a message that I should receive my new password in an email. Now I have no way of knowing what password I had used and thus have no idea what sites/services I need to change my password for. If the link had said "password reset" instead of "password recovery", I would have kept trying different passwords until I figured out which one was used here.

Sparda Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The forum doesn't know what your password is until you tell it what it is. At which point it forgets it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicatronTg Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Why don't you tell these people that. I think that's fixed in 3.0 and technically, you can edit the file that contains the login script to read "reset" instead of "recovery".
