Allow triggering of user password reset email via the API <Ryan_Lane> RoanKattouw: is there any way to request a password through email via the api? <Reedy> No, it'd be trivial enough to add though if wanted <RoanKattouw> Not that I know of <Ryan_Lane> :( <Reedy> In theory, Akshays rewrite should allow that if it doesn't already <Reedy> If you've got a need for it.. I can do it, it won't be much work <Ryan_Lane> I do have a need <Ryan_Lane> I'm making a script to automatically link SVN accounts with labs <Reedy> File it in BZ, I'll see about getting to it in the morning <Reedy> It'll be fairly standalone hopefully, so pushing in 1.17wmf1/1.18 shouldn't be an issue.. <Ryan_Lane> it gives them a wiki name, changes their password to something random, logs in as them, and then should send them a password reset email <Ryan_Lane> I'm using the 1.18 branch, if that's easier
Created attachment 9022 [details] Skeleton Stashing patch here. Seems stability of password stuff on trunk (and 1.18) is undecided, don't really want to do it twice! Nowhere near functional or anything, just skeleton
Annoyingly, looks like a lot of the password reset logic is in the special page code right now.
