WooCommerce Core Updates:

Improvements to My Account > Lost password endpoint

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27898

The Lost Password endpoint has two changes allowing it to be used in the create account flow in the new checkout block in WooCommerce Blocks.

1. The lost password reset form can now be used even if the user is logged in (previously required logged-out user).
2. The page title can now be overridden, via an action url parameter.

Test normal "forgot password" flow

1. In an incognito window, visit my-account/ and click Lost your password??
2. Enter a username or email for a user account and click Reset password.
3. Open the reset password email and click the Click here to reset your password link.
4. Enter a new password and log in to the account to confirm password change success.

This flow should work the same in WooCommerce 4.7.

In addition, in step 3-4 you can now reset the password in a logged-in browser session. The password reset should not be possible if the logged-in user not the user that triggered the password reset.

Test custom Set password title

This flow will be used for setting a password in new accounts. The relevant changes in WooCommerce Blocks will be released in WooCommerce Blocks 3.7.

To test with WooCommerce Blocks, follow the instructions here.

Alternatively, you can simulate this part of the flow by setting an action= URL param in the above reset flow.

1. In an incognito window, visit my-account/ and click Lost your password??
2. Enter a username or email for a user account and click Reset password.
3. Open the reset password email and click the Click here to reset your password link.
4. Edit the url and set the action param to newaccount, for example http://teststore.com/my-account/lost-password/?show-reset-form=true&action=newaccount. Reload the page.
5. Page title and navigation breadcrumb should now show Set password.
6. Enter a new password and log in to the account to confirm password change success.

Stock is being reduced if item is added to an already processing order:

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27763

To test:

1. Create a product with a managed inventory:

2. Start creating a new manual order. Add the product from step 1 to that manual order.
3. Click on the Create button to create an order. The stock of the product should be adjusted based on the number of items added to the order.
