Broken password reset links on WP 4.3.1

[ollietreend]

Hi,

Password reset links are broken when this plugin is activated. I'm running WordPress 4.3.1, but I imagine this will also affect other versions of WordPress.

This bug could have been caused by the changes that were made to account passwords and reset links in WordPress 4.3:

Password reset links now expire in 24 hours by default.

I haven't spent time looking into this, but imagine that this could have affected it.

Expected behaviour

1. Enter username in to 'forgotten password' form.
2. Receive email, click link.
3. Change password using 'reset password' form.

## Acutal behaviour 1. Enter username in to 'forgotten password' form. 2. Receive email, click link. 3. "Your password reset link appears to be invalid. Please request a new link below."

They are aware of the bug: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33904

Your options:

1. Increase the size of the user_activation_key field in the wp_users table.
2. Disable the plugin until WP fixes the bug.

Hopefully they'll fix it soon though.

WordPress 4.4 is out. And this bug is one of the many fixes.
