Description

I have created 2 accounts: jf and jf1, both with the same email.

Then when logging in I declared I forgot my password, so a reset password email was sent to me.

The email said:


Multiple Flowplace accounts are associated with your e-mail address.
To reset the password for one of the accounts click on the link for that account.

Thanks for being part of the Flowplace!

But there are no link to any account, so it's impossible to select which account we can reset.

Hey, I figured out what was causing this. It happened when you manually create a user as an admin, but then didn't activate the account. Then separately as a user you asked for a password reset. The system was sending you an e-mail with incorrect text. I've fixed it so that if you do this, the text says that you have no activated accounts at that e-mail. It should actually not even send you an e-mail, but fixing that is more complicated for various obscure reasons (it's a bug at the level of the Bolt user system plugin that we use).

In other words, if, as an admin, you had activated those accounts, it would have worked.
