--- Comment #8 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> 2011-04-07 22:02:55 UTC --- In this case (no password set on creation, no auth plugin), the user has no way to log in until a password has been set -- so they can't go to Special:ResetPass etc. The most common example of this case is user accounts created by another logged-in user, with a new password reset code sent via email. Until they log in with the reset code, they don't have a password and can't actually log in directly. If your extension is customizing authentication in order to log people in via cookies, then it needs to implement the AuthPlugin interface -- it can then tell the system that passwords don't make sense by returning false for its allowPasswordChange method(). There may be a case where you could be logged in with no local password set, but there is some way to reset local passwords, but offhand not sure. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
