Lost password validation can be improved

Thanks for WordPress.

There is issue with the lost password results screen which needs to be addressed. If you just enter a valid username or e-mail, the message is returned:

“Sorry, that user does not seem to exist in our database.”

In both cases, this wrong– the user does exist.

One of the following should happen:

– The user should be returned to the lost password form, with a message that both fields are required.

– providing either a username /or/ an e-mail should be good enough.

(I looked first for a bug tracking system but didn’t find one. ).
