    Password reset authentication fails when password and username is set in wp-config.php

    All other mail sends off, including woocomerce mail except for password reset.

    Works when adding password within the plugin settings.

    Using PHP 7..2
    WP Mail SMTP by WPForms 1.7.0
    Wordpress 5.2.4

    Hi @stefk,

    Can you confirm that you are using “Other SMTP” mailer?

    I’ve just tested with all SMTP settings set using constants in wp-config.php and successfully received the lost password email.

    Are you sure that password reset email didn’t get into Spam folder or got filtered out or forwarded?

    Hi Slava, yes I am using the “Other SMTP” mailer setting.

    Strangely enough, I have had the same issue with two sites.

    I have checked settings and the logs – the error comes back as Authentication Failed only for password reset. I forgot to mentioned both sites are running woocomerce.
