Hi Chad,
Is it possible to just ask for the email during the reset password phase?
Right now you have to enter username AND email. It seems unnecessary and it's likely the user does not remember their username if they can't remember their password.
Email on the other hand, they'll definitely know.
Thanks!

At this time it is not an option, but it is on the project list to incorporate a number possible options with forgotten usernames/passwords/emails.
The reason behind the current process is that this adds a layer of security. With just an email, if a user's email is compromised, the password could be reset.

Hello Chad,
First of all thanks a lot for offering such a great plugin...
It would be great if you incorporate the feature "only email required to reset password"...I know it will become less secure but at the same time it will become very user friendly....Many of my registered users often forget their username,but nobody forget their email....
Kindly incorporate the feature "only email required to reset password" to make it more user friendly...

Hi Chad,
Thanks for all your hard work on this plugin! I also would LOVE to omit the username requirement for the forgotten password inquiry. My users are not likely to remember their user name (myself included). If I have to go find my user name I would search my emails to find it. If my email was compromised the person would already have my username and email address. For convenience I would recommend only the email. I've never been promoted to input username AND email for a reset, even on highly secure websites. If someone is that hell bent on getting into the site they'll find a way. ;)
For others with this problem, here is my workaround: I am going to implement a manual reset the passwords by uploading a contact form that asks a client for their email. When I get the reset inquiry I'll reset the password and email them their updated login information (username and email). It's NOT an automated system but it's my only option since I know my users won't remember their usernames. (I only use this for our social group so it's not a huge set of users, but for others this is not an option)
Please please include this feature in the next updates! Thanks!!!
