Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Anti-harassment/Add an option to require email address and username to reset password

Random proposal ►◄ Anti-harassment  The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Add an option to require email address and username to reset password

• Problem: Trolls and LTAs have been knocking Special:PasswordReset with the intention of trolling and (currently) this cannot be prevented. Then I get password reset I did not request. While I know I have secure password (and 2FA) on both my SUL accounts and my email, it's annoying so it'd better if I can just prevent them. It sometimes gives the impression to ordinary users that their account is being compromised, which is not a good UX.
• Who would benefit: Those who gets spammed with false password reset
• Proposed solution: Have a OPT-IN checkbox on Preferences, turned off by default. The checkbox will require you to enter your registered email address AND your username to get a password reset. When you set this up, you know your email address, but trolls don't.

• When I can use different mailadresses and I have forgotten which one is necessary for passwort reset? There should be a separate option to send a confirmation mail to the adress used.--Brainswiffer (talk) 07:24, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
