This is definitely not “resolved” for me, as I’m seeing the issue on multiple sites running the latest version of the plugin. * [willb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asecondwill/) * (@asecondwill) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/password-resetfatal-error/#post-6234710) * +1. plugin is broken * Plugin Author [Jason Cosper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boogah/) * (@boogah) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/password-resetfatal-error/#post-6234713) * Version 1.6.5 — which implements the PR linked above — has been released and should fix your issues.
