Password recovery busted in 1.3.4?
Hey Wac,
I've been getting an increasing number of e-mails lately informing me that the password recovery feature at Fearsome is not functioning properly. The problem seems to be the same every time:

I get the confirmation email, then the link brings me to the screen where I type my new password, but after I enter it, it says the username is not found. Which is silly, because if I had typed the wrong username I wouldn't have gotten the confirmation email.
I'm not sure if this is specific to a browser or what, but it seems to have started fairly recently; did any password recovery code get dramatically changed in the last couple versions (I can't remember)? Is this a known issue? Figured I'd drop a line and see what's up.

As soon as I saw this, I knew it was another pesky registered globals issue. It affects some servers and not others. A change to the server's PHP configuration would cause it to become a problem all of a sudden.
Here's a patch for you.
Wax Poteto had a problem with its password recovery for a while, but in a different part of the code.
