Password Reset flow broken

aditron — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 22:13:21 +0000

In reviewing a number of WP management tools, I went to test ManageWP. Looks good out of the box, but I am unable to set my password after the initial period of using the admin. Three members of my team have confirmed this flow.

Steps seem to be:

Click Forgotten Password
Enter your email to generate a password reset link
Get an email, which takes you to a page to ask for your email address (again!)
Nothing happens from this moment on

I re-tested this morning before submitting this ticket, and it now fails after step 2.

Suggestions?

Locked out of my own site

Hello,
I’ve forgotten my own admin password (I know I am a prank) and Wp-Cerber has blocked my own IP. I’ve tried downloading the reset plug-in but the link https://wpcerber.com/downloads/wp-cerber-reset.zip provided in the FAQ does not work. Can I just delete the WP-Cerber plugin folder by FTP?

Forgotten password not working

jasoncsh — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 17:42:06 +0000

Hi guys, I had to deactivate my plugin for testing purposes and now when reactivating it I have to reconnect my account. I cannot remember my password and the link on your website isn’t doing anything when entering my email address to get a password reset.

Many thanks,

The Administrator preview does not work.

Hello again.
The plugin restricts Administrator privileges for previewing pages: Login, Registration and Forgotten Password. This is related to the function that is activated by default in Settings/Cancellations.

If we deactivate the first option the preview of the Administrator is recovered except with the Login page. Apparently this function is not working properly. Is there a specific solution for this?

Thank you

Forgotten password link for username with a space

mandy@nepeta — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 14:29:33 +0000

Good afternoon
We have has a spate of problems being reported from users not being able to reset their password from the “Forgotten Password” email. It transpires that all these users have a username with a space (e.g. jo bloggs).

The email generated by TML is not converting the space into a %20, so the link stops at the space and is therefore not valid. e.g.
https://www.something.com/resetpass/?key=Zizz7IwOkKzwhtylkxVS&login=jo bloggs
rather than
https://www.something.com/resetpass/?key=Zizz7IwOkKzwhtylkxVS&login=jo%20bloggs

Would it be possible to fix this please?

Thanks in anticipation

Account log-in and forgotten password problems

macacomoco — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 15:51:59 +0000

Multiple issues, probably all related:

1. User needs to log-in twice to /My-Account
On trying to log-in the first time the page just refreshes and then on entering log-in credentials the 2nd time it works.

2. Same issue for reset password

3. I tested forgotten password function from my own account (my WordPress admin account) and I received a forgotten password link via email. I registered a new account just as a customer and I do not receive a password reset email.

Thanks in advance

Login Problems – help!

It seems I do not remember my password but when I try “forgot password” link, I get a page with the following: The email could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.

Please help! I was in the middle of making changes to my website and now I cannot do anything.

I'm trying to log into my www.ads-software.com website…

I forgot my password and have pressed the forgot my password link and it says that it sent me a password reset link but that’s not true because I didn’t get one and I’ve tried this multiple times… HELP!

key invalid in link password forgotten email

jornWidgets — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 11:17:34 +0000

We are having a problem with invalid keys in the links generated by WordPress which users receive after they request a new password when they have forgotten their password.

User flow:
A user has forgotten his password and clicks “Password forgotten?” and fills in their username. A mail is now send to the emailaddress of this user with a link they can use to create a new password. The mail is received and seems to have a well-formed link, however this link is not working as the key is deemed invalid when you use it (also after copy-pasting and whatnot).

After going through the regular procedure with regards to bugs I found out that the issue seems to be with the All In One WP Security plugin because it worked again when the plugin was inactive and stopped working when it was activated.

The login page has been renamed and the link in the forgotten password goes to the correct page, the problem is with the key that is deemed invalid for the username.

P.S. We’ve had an earlier problem where the link was malformed (%38 injected in the link somehow, which was resolved after an update of the All in one Security Plugin).

how to change admin password on local wordpress install (localhost)

gh421 — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 22:42:52 +0000

Hi
I have read a lot of posts on changing your localhost wordpress admin password if you forgot or lost it. They all seem to revolve around phpmyadmin, but this is fiddly and sometimes a pain, especially if forgot your phpmyadmin password too or it wants you to ugrade mysql even if it already is.
The easiest way I found to change a forgotten admin password that is installed on a local server (localhost) is to either
1. create a new site locally (webmatrix -> new -> app gallery etc). Remember the password for this and keep the user as the same as the one for the password you lost on your original wordpress site.
or
2. if you have another wordpress site you know the admin password, load that site in webmatrix.

Then in webmatrix, go to Databases then expand tables and open wp_users. Highlight the entire password for ‘admin’ and copy (don’t cut lol).

Now, open the site with the forgotten password in webmatrix. once again, go to databases, tables, wp_users, and where it has “password” for the admin, highlight the password txt and paste in your copied “working password”.

Now you can log in to your wordpress admin console with that password.
Hope this helps
