Password recovery on mediawiki: you need to use the API with action=resetpassword, and on an account where you confirmed the email. This needs to be done manually for now, so when you log in e.g. with wikiuser or when you create a new account on the standard mediawiki site, set an email on the standard MediaWiki site and confirm the email you receive, so your account is confirmed. Then you can test the password recovery function through the API sandbox, postman or your code.

Only password recovery, will probably not be implemented for MVP
