Terminology wrong around "Request new password"

Created on 6 March 2010, about 15 years ago

For several versions now we've kept the terminology "Request new password" for password recovery, whereas in fact we do a one-time login link. This discrepancy confuses the user and also tends to have them not realize that they can use the link just to log in... or that they have to take action after they log in.

We need to rethink this and find new words that tell the user what's really going on.
