reset password is insecure #344

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
reset password functionality exposes users to denial of service.

Anyone can reset the password of a known user name.

We should add a challenge, security question.

OR

A 2 step reset procedure via email. Don't reset password until a tokenized link 
is visited via emailed link.

OR 

leave the current password working along with the reset password in case it was 
unintentional. This is kludgy though.
