 Replying to [comment:23 audrasjb]:
 > Are we fine with "Recover" wording? Should we rather user "Reset"?

 In most cases we use "**Reset Password**". Core does not use "**Recover
 Password**", but it sound better then "**Lost your password?**".

 In any case, the only place we use "**Recover**" wording is the
 "**Recovery Mode**".
