 * Michael, many thanks… it’s been that long since I paid any attention to plugin
   development. I’ve kind of noticed the swap in other plugins but hadn’t thought
   much of it. 
   Cheers for the speedy reply, much appreciated. Chris

 * As you installed ContactForm7 ‘after’ installed WordFence, go to WordFence and
   re-enable training mode. If WordFence detects any issues with ContactForm7, you
   accept them. You can then switch off training mode.

   WordFence is also highlighting the plugin has a security vulnerability.Have you
   managed to get hold of those at PatchStack?

 * I’m seeing the same error, and clicking the “try to recreate again” option has
   no effect. 
   There are no errors on the server, nor in Popup Makers own error 
   log. Clicking the keep current method caused the error message to go away in 
   my instance. On checking the misc options, “disable asset caching” was still 
   cleared.
 * I checked the permissions on pum-site-styles.css and pum-site-scripts.js which
   were both still dated as April 2022, and set to 644 which I’ve changed manually
   to 755 (to match the pum folder).
 * I don’t have any active pop-ups at present and I’ll try to spend a bit more time
   on this tomorrow. (I suspect the April 2022 cache files was the last time I had
   an active pop-up !!).

 * A weird situation but it really can’t be coming from Post SMTP.
 * Post SMTP doesn’t generate emails (apart from error conditions and then it uses
   a fallback method). WordPress is generating the password change email and passing
   that to the WP Mail method. Post SMTP overrides the regular WP Mail method and
   takes over the sending of the emails.
 * Without Post SMTP activated your site will fall back to using your servers PHP
   Mail functionality. If you are not seeing the password reset emails without Post
   SMTP, it is likely they are still being generated but being blocked by your servers
   PHP mail restrictions or blocked as spam by the recipient email server. (PHP 
   Mail is inherently unreliable which is the reason most people install Post SMTP).
 * Do you have any Password manager applications installed on the machine you are
   using?
    Or a Browser addon that works in both regular and private/incognito browser
   sessions? Have you tried a different machine / phone / laptop?
 * When editing the user profile page, it is WordPress itself that is detecting 
   a change within the password field and then activating the “change of password
   email”.
    Post SMTP has no part in any of that process until it receives the email
   send request. You could try putting WordPress into full debug mode and hopefully
   that might spread some light within the logs.
 * What is even more confusing is many years ago, due to a bug with the Chrome browser
   not respecting the “do not autocomplete” switch, they put in steps to stop that
   field from being filled in automatically without the users input. That should
   work across all browsers and not just Chrome. Usually there is a button that 
   you need to press prior to setting a new password so that field wouldn’t even
   be visible when you are viewing or editing a users profile.
 * One last thought, do you have any kind of membership plugin installed?
    Or do
   you have any modifications within your functions.php file? Whilst you say you
   have disabled all plugins via Troubleshooting mode, changes to your functions.
   php file are not always switched off when in Troubleshooting mode.

 * Un-tick the “prevent plugins and themes from setting this”
 * However if you do this and use a different domain in the email address, you must
   make sure that you set up the correct SPF and DKIM records (that authorises [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/).
   com to send emails “on behalf of* your domain.
    Failure to do that will mean 
   most it not all of your emails will be marked as spam or rejected by the recipients
   mail server/application.

 * That has nothing to do with Post SMTP I’m afraid.
 * It is most likely that you have your browser set to auto complete. Each time 
   you edited the users profile page, your browser filled in the hidden password
   field with “a saved password” of yours. As you clicked save or update on the 
   users profile, it updated the users details AND their password.
 * When editing users profiles, switch off your browsers auto complete. If your 
   password manager or browsers auto complete allows, add an exception using the
   profile URL. Or just temporarily disable auto complete.
 * Or
 * You could also use a different browser (or a guest browser profile) to edit users
   profiles. That new browser or guest browser profile will not have any passwords
   stored so won’t automatically complete that field. That will mean you will have
   to manually login to the admin dashboard because it won’t remember your password
   or username too.
 * But rest assured, it was most definitely not Post SMTP that initiated the password
   reset.

 * Chris
