After activation, the plugin automatically removes the \u201cLost your password?\u201d link and blocks the ability to recover a password for all users.<\/p>\n
Method Two: Remove the Password Recovery Function in WordPress Manually<\/h2>\n
If you prefer not to install additional plugins, or want to disable password recovery selectively for certain users, you can use custom code. To do this, open any text editor and create a file, for example Option 1: block with a redirect and removal of the \u201cLost your password?\u201d link<\/strong><\/p>\n The following code completely blocks password recovery for all users, removes the \u201cLost your password?\u201d link on the login page and redirects anyone who tries to open the standard password reset page back to the login page:<\/p>\n Option 2: block while keeping recovery available to administrators<\/strong><\/p>\n Another code snippet also completely blocks password recovery for all users and removes the \u201cLost your password?\u201d link on the login page. Administrators will be able to recover passwords through the admin panel, while for ordinary users recovery is completely unavailable:<\/p>\n If you need to block password recovery only for specific roles or individual users, use code that checks roles or user IDs:<\/p>\n Blocking for everyone except administrators:<\/strong><\/p>\n Blocking for specific users by ID:<\/strong><\/p>\n Save your file. Then connect to your site via FTP<\/a> and go to the wp-content\/plugins<\/strong> folder.<\/p>\n Upload the file you created to this folder. Now go to the admin area’s Plugins<\/strong> page, where you will see the new Disable Password Reset<\/strong> plugin in the list of installed<\/a> plugins. Activate it.<\/p>\n After activation, password recovery will be disabled according to the chosen option: completely for all users, only for ordinary users, or for selected roles and specific users.<\/p>\n Our specialization is WordPress website development and maintenance.
