Comment (by aaugustin):
'''Issue A: password recovery for unactivated accounts'''
I could reproduce the registration problem as follows:
- create an account, but ignore the activation email
- request a password reset, click the link, change the password
- attempt to log in on the website => failure, see attached screenshot
- attempt to log in on Trac => failure
I did this twice to reduce the PEBCAK-factor.
Note that using my own username (that works) and a wrong password triggers
the same not-so-helpful error screen.
----
'''Issue B: lack of discoverability of the password reset form'''
Trac has "Login" and "Register" links.
"Login" goes straight to browser authentication, so we can't add "Password
lost" next to the login box, like most websites do.
Adding "Password lost" between "Login" and "Register" would be useful —
currently the link to /accounts/password/reset/ in buried in
