Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Setting the action to `site_url( 'wp-login.php' )` or `wp_login_form()`
 will remove the redirect destination for the login, ie the `redirect_to`
 query string parameter. On the reset password page, it will return users
 to the login form.

 Rather than populate the `action` attribute, I suggest it be removed as
 the default value is to use [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Learn/Forms/Sending_and_retrieving_form_data the current URL].
 This approach passes when run through validator.w3.org.
