Description Krinkle 2014-09-25 00:33:23 UTC
1. Try logging in 3-4 times and eventually decide to reset your password.
2. Log in with the e-mailed temporary password.
3. Observe it serves Special:ChangePassword in response to the login with the temp password, prompting me to change it.
4. Enter a new password
5. Submit "Set password and log in"

Expected:
I'm now logged in and back on the page I was at before this (returnto)

Actual:

I'm back on the ChangePassword page, this time with a rather strange error:
 "You have made too many recent login attempts. Please wait 5 minutes before trying again."



Strange, because I didn't make a log in attempt this time, and even if the one the system did for me was counted as a login attempt, it couldn't have been a failed attempt, so why would it be rejected?

For the record, my login attempts in step #1 before I reset the password did not result in any error or block (at least not visible to the user).
