Hi everyone,
I have just implemented automatic password reset functionality now that
we have accounts for bug tracker + voting.
If you don't remember your password, you can reset it. The way it works is:
1) you fill out a form with your new password
2) pear.php.net sends you an email with a private confirmation code
3) you visit a website in the email, type in your username and the
confirmation code
4) your password is updated
These steps are taken so that only you can reset your password. The
password is never displayed or emailed.
Greg
