# Issue with Multisite “Lost your password?” functionality

 * We have a WordPress Multisite setup that is not working correctly, and we believe
   an update is needed to the plugin codebase.
 * We have WPS Hide Login active on our WordPress Multisite parent, setting this
   to be “login”, so the login URL is [https://example-parent.com/login/](https://example-parent.com/login/)
   and this works as intended.
 * We do not have WPS Hide Login active on our WordPress Multisite child, meaning
   the login URL is [https://example-child.com/wp-login.php](https://example-child.com/wp-login.php)
   and this works as intended.
 * When we are on the child login URL ([https://example-child.com/wp-login.php](https://example-child.com/wp-login.php))
   and click on “Lost your password?”, we are redirected to a 404 page at [https://example-parent.com/wp-login.php](https://example-parent.com/wp-login.php)
 * Please can you test and confirm this is happening for you.
 * We recognise that this may break some security of the hidden login URL, so we
   would question if an alert could be shown stating “Please reset your password
   on the Multisite parent” or similar.

 * I have a similar problem. I have WPS Hide Login installed on all my subsites 
   set to “inloggen” This works smoothly on all site and if you click on “Lost your
   password?”, the redirect works. But in the email the link to reset your password
   doesn’t work. The redirect goes to [http://domain.com/child-site/child-site/inloggen/?login=](http://domain.com/child-site/child-site/inloggen/?login=)
   etcetera This gives a 404.
