[wp-hackers] Re: Default User Setup

[Josh Jarmin]

Why can't WP have either as the main option or a fall back option (for
those without mail) have a web based password reset.  Maybe a secret
question or something to verify identity and then a reset password
form.  It might be more of a security risk, but if only activated when
mail is not found, it wouldn't  be that bad.
