Bug ID: 71272
Summary: Special:ChangePassword somehow triggers
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login and signup

1. Try logging in 3-4 times and eventually decide to reset your password.
2. Log in with the e-mailed temporary password.
3. Observe it serves Special:ChangePassword in response to the login with the
temp password, prompting me to change it.
4. Enter a new password
5. Submit "Set password and log in"
Expected:
I'm now logged in and back on the page I was at before this (returnto)
Actual:
I'm back on the ChangePassword page, this time with a rather strange error:
"You have made too many recent login attempts. Please wait 5 minutes before
trying again."
Strange, because I didn't make a log in attempt this time, and even if the one
the system did for me was counted as a login attempt, it couldn't have been a
failed attempt, so why would it be rejected?
For the record, my login attempts in step #1 before I reset the password did
not result in any error or block (at least not visible to the user).
