Description dwnichols 2006-02-27 16:49:13 UTC 
While trying to retrieve my user password, I entered a User Name I often use.  
This user name is in use by someone else, and the OOo system happily sent him an 
e-mail with password resetting instructions which, unfortunately, he doesn't 
need.

A confirmation screen, something along the lines of "We're about to send an e-
mail to this address. Is this you?  Y/N" would be nice.

dwnichols,

This request is in contradiction to the issue 24863 where it was requested not
to reveal the email address while requesting for a new password for privacy
reasons and which is fixed in CEE 3.5 (Danube).

As a workaround for your situation, while retrieving your password, CEE provides
you with an option to use the email address that you entered while registering
your user account.

Please let us know if this answered your query. Please feel free to suggest an
alternative option for confirmation while retrieving user password.


Regards,
Karishma
