            Bug ID: 194695
           Summary: ``Reset password'' on the web PR interface broken
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
               URL: http://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Website
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fstd.lkml at gmail.com

The ``reset password'' mechanism on
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi seems broken.

(tl;dr: It interprets usernames as email address, and email addresses as
usernames)

It says: ``If you have an account, but have forgotten your password, enter your
login name below and submit a request to change your password.''

Done that, it replies: ``The e-mail address you entered (fstd) didn't pass our
syntax checking for a legal email address.''

Fair enough, so apparently it does not want my user name, but my email address
instead.

Done that, it replies: ``There is no user named 'fstd at example.com'. Either you
mis-typed the name or that user has not yet registered for a FreeBSD Bugzilla
account.''

So there's currently no way to reset a lost password than to register a new
account.

Best,
Timo Buhrmester
