OMP 1.2 - Forgot Password email sends no password

Hi all.

I am trying to use the “Forgot Password” function of OMP 1.2. The process seems to work, but the final email contains no password in order to login.

Am I missing something there?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Dimitris_Efstathiou,

That’s this issue, which has already been resolved:

Hi, I'm using OJS 3 (updated shortly after Code Sprint this year). I tried to u…se "forgot password" on the admin account. Then I got an e-mail containing a link, which basically just led to the login-page of my ojs-installation. This triggered the second mail "password successfully reset. But I never had to type a password. Did I misunderstand something or is there a bug? Keep up the good work!
