 * Hi
 * Since the install of 4.4.2, I’ve noticed that the link to reset your password
   is missing from the email when an administrator does a password generate through
   the Users section of wordpress.
 * I get the following email (with some changes to personal info) when an admin 
   uses the generate password on my account:
 * “[BLAHBLAH Training Portal] Notice of Password Change
 * Hi [myemail@mycompany.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/442-password-generated-email-missing-link/myemail@mycompany.com?output_format=md)
 * This notice confirms that your password was changed on the BLAHBLAH Training 
   Portal.
 * If you did not change your password, please contact the Site Administrator at
   [admin@mycompany.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/442-password-generated-email-missing-link/admin@mycompany.com?output_format=md)
 * This email has been sent to [myemail@mycompany.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/442-password-generated-email-missing-link/myemail@mycompany.com?output_format=md)
 * Regards,
    All at BLAHBLAH Training Portal”
 * Does anyone have information as to why they changed the generate password functionality
   so that instead of a password link (from WP 4.3)?
 * Is there anyway to change this email (not the same as the lost password email)?
   Either through installing a particular plugin or changing some code?
 * Thanks In Advance.

 * I can understand if you logged in as yourself and you were a subscriber you would
   get a notification email. But if you were an admin and you were trying to reset
   someone’s password on the account, wouldn’t it make sense to either send them
   a link for resetting as opposed to just saying your password has changed. It 
   would force a change in workflow, the admin would have send out a manual email
   outside of wordpress either providing user a password or a reset link.
 * Maybe email notification could be an optional button when a password is reset
   through the Users tab. Different notification sent, if an admin updates your 
   password vs you updating your own password.
 * Just my two deprecated pennies.
