reset-password not working

Hi @heddesheimer,

Do you have WordPress multisite?
It happens with the admin password or also when trying to reset user password?
Please check developers console of your browser for any errors.

Regards.

No multisite.

I try to reset a user password.

I tried to check in the console. I think I can see an error flashing for a fraction of a second, but then it’s redirecting to the error message.

I just tried in Firefox and there it worked. Obviously, it’s somehow related to the Chrome browser only.

Hi @heddesheimer,

This may be due to some of your Chrome extensions, please try to disable them and see if it helps.
Please also try to clear cache and browsing data.

Regards.

Thank you. I found that the problem suddenly disappeared, so it might have been a caching problem with my browser. Thanks for the tip.

Frontend Reset Password

Hello, i have the same problem a website since many month.
The user receives the “password reset mail” with a link seems like:
"https://domaain/password-reset/?act=reset_password&hash=TRMbDxcyCLGO20UFbOAg&user_id=40"
But, when he open that link, it returns to the reset page requesting the “username” again.

Yeah, resetting my password from the password reset link sent via e-mail has also sometimes resulted in the message: “This is not possible for security reasons.” I was able to successfully reset the password after pasting the same password reset link into a different browser (I was using Chrome) or using Chrome’s incognito mode.

Of course, knowing this isn’t going to help my users, when they try to reset their password so they can access their account, get this message, and then give up and move on to another service, or get frustrated (at us).
