Password reset not working when username has spaces

    is a problem that a link is sent for “Forgot password”, but it does not work if there is a space in the username. the link then looks something like this:
    “https://<domain.name>/password-forgotten/?a=set_password_from_key&key=<xxxxxxx>&login=user name”.
    The space in the name is not included in the hyperlink. If the user clicks on this link, he receives the following error message:
    “Sorry, no password reset key was found. Please check your email and try again.”
    If the hyperlink is entered manually in the browser completely, i.e. with the space, the reset works.

    Hi, thanks for the report! Indeed we don’t encode the user login correctly.

    I’ve commited the fix right away, but it will be deployed in the next version.

    Hello Kuba,
    I’m glad to hear they are making improvements, it’s a great plugin!

    Could you tell me how I can encode the user login correctly in my installation, until the update is active?

    Kind Regards

    Hey, you’d need to manually apply this change to get it fixed now. Please pay attention to formatting, as you have the snake_case and we switched to camelCase in the meantime.
