This one is FYI for you Nicholas. I don't think it is AT but you just never know. I posted over on Joomla's 2.5 forum.

Here is my site using Joomla 2.5.14, Akeeba's Admin Tools and K2. Users cannot register on the site — I manually issue accounts.

I had a user who lost his password and used the Forgot your password feature. The site stated that a link had been sent which he never received. I know this is so because I logged into his online e-mail account and it was not in the spam folder.

In the site's back end I manually reset the user's password. He tried logging in and got the reply: The password reset confirmation failed because the verification code was invalid. User not found. I was able to log in using his information.

After repeated attempts I went into the user database and reset resetCount to zero. Again, same error to the user after trying to log in. So, I deleted the user's account and reissued another one. The same error once again.

I am at my wit's end on this one and could use some help please.

Cordially,
A. Wayne Webb

This has certainly nothing to do with our software. Last time I saw something like that I had a template with an outdated override to com_users that was missing a couple of hidden fields which were added (if I recall correctly) somewhere around Joomla! 2.5.10 or thereabouts. I'd recommend talking with your template provider.

Yeah, I figured it was likely not an issue with AT and the posting was more a sucking dry of your brain. D

Thanks for the time,

A follow up. I now remember why I reached out to you on this one.

Admin Tools sends me an error logging in e-mail each time he tries logging in. Examining the back end I see his IP rotating as he uses AOL.Crap which is assigning a proxy. I thought that might have something to do with it but ruled it out after viewing the support on your site.

It would probably help if you could tell me the Reason and Target URL mentioned in the email.
