Summary: Require account e-mail address in order to mail a new
password
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences

While the password is only sent to the authenticated e-mail, this creates quite
a hassle when someone attempts to gain access or cause trouble for the
end-user. I just experienced an issue where an account is tied to a bot
framework (similar to stewbot) and I have to go through all this mess changing
the e-mail/password, re-authenticating, and adjusting the bot config when all
this could have been avoided by the user not even knowing the account's e-mail
address in the first place.
