Password reminder mails will be broken in 4.7: msg#00152

Subject: Password reminder mails will be broken in 4.7
Hi!

As we now use a one time URL mechanism to let those in who forgot their password, the reminder mail have been changed. Unlike other updates this can't be handled automatically since this is user entered text, albeit with some variables.

Here is the new text:

      case 'pass_body':
return t("%username,\n\nA request to reset the password for your account has been made at %site.\n\nYou may now log in to %uri_brief clicking on this link or copying and pasting it in your browser:\n\n%login_url\n\nThis is a one-time login, so it can be used only once. It expires after one day and nothing will happen if it's not used.\n\nAfter logging in, you will be redirected to %edit_uri so you can change your password.", $variables);

Versus the old.

      case 'pass_body':
return t("%username,\n\nHere is your new password for %site. You may now login to %login_uri using the following username and password:\n\nusername: %username\npassword: %password\n\nAfter logging in, you may wish to change your password at %edit_uri", $variables);

If someone ever pressed save on admin/settings then the text is served from DB and not from code. That's the problem.

As you can see, %login_url is needed and %password is no more filled in so password reminders are pretty much useless.

I have no idea on how should we remind our users of this but somehow we must. Or at least I think this is important. Feel free to disregard my email as usual.

Regards

NK
