    Hi,
    I’m trying to “send a reset link” to a user from within the admin environment.

    I am getting the following error message:

    “ERROR: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed.”

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Sorry about the issue 🙁 It turns out to be correct. The “Send a reset link” tool actually just pings the default password reset form endpoint used by /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword which when Advanced Google reCAPTCHA is enable is protected by the captcha so the error is correct. But it doesn’t add anything that we can use to securely determine it’s being called from wp-admin and not by a random external user. Because of that we can’t remove the captcha requirement for “Send a reset link”.

    We will see if there’s something we can do in the next update.
