Comment:
Thanks for the initial patch @isharis I've refreshed it in
[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/43856/43856.2.diff
43856.2.diff] to apply to trunk and make the following amendments;
1. Added `If you request a reset of your password, your IP address will be
included in the reset email.` to the default privacy policy content as
suggested by @allendav.
2. Addressed the comments by @desrosj updating to 5.6.0 and adding
translator comment.
3. Updated the verbiage in the email as just 'IP Address' felt like it
could be confused with the website IP. Verbiage used `This password reset
request originated from the IP address %s.`
4. I made it conditional so if `wp_get_unsafe_client_ip` returns false the
string isn't added.
Adding dev-feedback/needs-privacy-review as I feel we don't need to
anonymize the IP in this context as this is a security measure so would
fall into section f of the GDPR. The full IP is more useful in ensuring
identity in this case. I didn't remove the anon_ip portion yet as I'd like
some input on that.
