#5294(trac:new): "Forgot password" should require EITHER email or username, not both

That's retarded. If you forget your username, you are fucked. If you remember your username but are not sure which email you used, you are fucked. Decent sites either let you enter whichever you want, or they only require the email (the former option is obviously better). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5294> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker

There are multiple reasons for this redirection: 1. if this change is truly universal to all "decent sites," it should be fixed at the root, instead of us rolling an ad hoc change. 2. we don't know Python. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5294#comment:1> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker

Balling is my username, how am I fucked? I can just look into this post. Or email from trac. There you can see your email. The probelm is many use the email that they layer use to sign-off-by on commits, that emails and public username kinda makes it still simple to create a DOS attack. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5294#comment:4> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
