Disable Password Reset
Overview
Turns off public “forgot password” self-service (including Woo paths), with a custom disabled message. By default admins can still trigger reset emails (allow_admin_reset_emails true). Existing email reset links stop working while the module is on. High lockout risk if you have no alternate recovery—use only on managed sites. Soft overlap with CAPTCHA reset toggles (moot when reset is off) and Magic Login as an alternate path.
- Intranet / staff-only sites
- Agencies that reset passwords for clients
- High-abuse open sites with a clear support process
