A client asked for a feature I thought was important enough to request as a feature.

When you go through the "forgot password" process, Drupal emails you a special link to reset your password. Upon clicking on that link, you are taken to a page saying you have so much time to click "log in" and reset your password. From there are you taken to your user page (user/1/edit).

What the client is suggesting is to be take to a different page where only the password field and a submit button exist. Instead of user/1/edit the path might be user/1/edit/password.

I see this as a usability improvement. Especially if the user/1/edit form is long (through added modules hooking into _user).

Elvis

BTW, the client is on D5, not D7 :). But the request is for D7 :))

Title: Password Reset, user get's password only form, not long user form » New Password Reset form page

You could also include that "Request new password" and resetting the password manually to something new are both different things. Could this issue cover this aspect also.

I believe so. Regardless of how the process is done the user should go to only a simple form, with two fields,

type password:
re-type password:

submit

That is it. This can be done pretty easily through a custom module but I think the request should be considered for future deployments of Drupal.

Fairly certain this issue is a duplicate of #75924: Include fields for resetting password on the one-time password reset page
