A recent security test identified that the "forgot your password?" page at /account/forgotpassword can cause large numbers of numbers of emails to be sent to the entered address, if it uses registered user's email.
See https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Forgot_Password_Cheat_Sheet.html which recommends protecting such functionality with rate limiting and CAPTCHA.
I don't think we need to add another option to the reCAPTCHA integration (see https://www.cloudscribe.com/google-recaptcha-integration ) - I suggest if this is automatically configured we apply it to the /account/forgotpassword page.
