Jeroen Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The "Forgot your password"-function is missing. Before spreading the word on the official release of PW21.. I don't want you to be kept of the great job you're doing (*respect*)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I decided to make the 'forgot password' function optional, and disabled by default. I would say that more than half of all installations simply don't need it. Then there are others that really need it. A good security best practice is to never have any more submittable forms running on your site than you absolutely need. So I figured we'd provide this 'forgot password' function for those that want it, and keep it off for those that don't. I'm not suggesting there are any security concerns with using this function. Only suggesting that every form (especially login/pass-related ones) can be sources of unwanted traffic consuming server resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroen Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I totally agree! It's only a missing feature for those that might need it ..only do they notice that it needs to be installed before it's too late. Maybe having it stand out on the modulelist will make them more aware (or putting it on top) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Re: standing out I absolutely think that the modules part needs a little love, especially the way the modules are sorted and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Always open to suggestions. Right now they are alpha ordered by category and module name. I'm not sure you can get more straightforward than that? At least, I would worry about causing confusion with any other type of order. One possibility would be to have a couple of categories at the top that duplicate whats in other categories, but call out "New Additions", "Popular Choices", etc. Soma also put together a great module that shows just one category at a time. While I prefer to see everything at once, I do think that module makes it more approachable to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 That page is for developers only (or at least that is how I see it, no "regular editor" should have access there) so I have no problems with the current design: Ctrl + F is all you need. In this particular case that someone creates site and forgets password right away.. well, it is pretty simple to create new password through API.
