Reset Password Form Texts

Change the wording of the screen users reach from the link in the password reset email, where they choose a new password.

Settings

• Instructions: the message above the form. WordPress says “Enter your new password below or generate one.”
• New password label: the label above the password field.
• Generate button: the button that suggests a strong password.
• Save button: WordPress says “Save Password”.
• “Register” link: the link to the registration screen, when registration is open.

Leave a field empty to keep WordPress’s wording.

This screen only opens from a real reset link, so it has no preview button. To see it:

1. Log out, or open a private browser window.
2. On the login screen, click Lost your password? and request a link for your own account.
3. Open the link from the email.
