If you think about it, that makes sense, especially if they offer email phishing protection. I've had to jury rig software to work around this problem when 300 users for a client couldn't reset their passwords. | |

@gburton read emails and GET the HTTP link inside them? Please ping me in chat to elaborate as I've never heard of that one.

On the other hand a one time USE token to create a password is secure. If a government agency routinely breaks the law by reading random emails, unless they've completed the workflow for you, they won't know the password. | |
