# Problem with send_password_change_email

 * Everytime a user resets it’s password I receive an email to my admin email.
 * As far as I know I cannot disable it by a setting.I can apply the following snippet
 * add_filter( ‘send_password_change_email’, ‘__return_false’ );
 * But I believe it should be somewhere over WordPress settings.
 * WordPress doesn’t have a setting to disable the admin notification of a password
   reset.That’s why there are plugins like this:Disable User Password Reset Admin
   Notifications – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org [https://share.google/fIAzgDHGcVsTFzYYo](https://share.google/fIAzgDHGcVsTFzYYo)

 * This is a core WordPress feature for which there is no toggle in the backend,
   but rather a function that you must override to disable it.
 * Example:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       if ( ! function_exists( ‘wp_password_change_notification’ ) ) {    function wp_password_change_notification( $user ) {        return;    }}
       ```
   
 * You can also solve this with a plugin:
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-password-reset-emails/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-password-reset-emails/)
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-password-changed-email/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-password-changed-email/)
 * However, I am aware of one exception to this function: if you use WooCommerce,
   WooCommerce accesses the function for sending the email in a different way. But
   there is a hook to disable this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( ‘woocommerce_disable_password_change_notification’, ‘__return_true’ );
       ```

 * Thanks for the correction.
 * But it shouldn’t be better to have a proper setting?

 * If you’d like to see this as a feature, I’d recommend submitting a ticket in 
   Core Trac, including a description of where you’d expect it to appear: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org](https://core.trac.wordpress.org)–
   that way, the WordPress Core developers can review the case and decide whether
   it would be feasible.
 * However, as I said, such a setting wouldn’t prevent other plugins, such as WooCommerce,
   from taking a different approach. With those, you’ll still have to configure 
   it yourself.
