 When a user wants to retrieve her password on wp-
 login.php?action=lostpassword the next screen is wp-
 login.php?checkemail=confirm.

 On that screen there is the message: Check your email for the confirmation
 link.
 And below that is the login form again. This is confusing.

 I found that users don't read the "check your email" message and fill out
 this form, as they think they are resetting their email with this form.

 I suggest removing the login form from wp-login.php?checkemail=confirm and
 make the message "Check your email for the confirmation link." more stand
 out.
