 After a user clicks on "Lost your password?", they get to a screen that
 says:

 > Please enter your username or email address. You will receive a link to
 create a new password via email.

 I know I'm being picky, but that text is incorrect (or at least
 ambiguous/ungrammatical) for 2 reasons:

 1. they won't receive a link, they will receive an email message
 2. the link won't create a new password **via email**

 I suggest changing that text to something like:

 > Please enter your username or email address. You will receive an email
 message with instructions on how to reset your password.

 Of course, open to other suggestions as well.
