This provides a way to recover lost passwords on account requests by using the comment verification system. The following details are important to note:

  • Expired requests can be reactivated, but if a request is reactivated it resets the cooldown (i.e. users will have to wait another week after resetting the password) - we can resolve this at a later date if we view this as a problem
  • This requires that the request be created after the Scratch account (i.e. to avoid namesnipes after a user is renamed)

Closes #147

I am marking this PR as closed. This is still something we need to do, but other things are higher priority right now, like preparing this for MW 1.39 and some refactors we really need to do. A lot of the logic can be reused however.
In my experience people forgetting passwords isn't that common (less than once a week) which is why I'm not prioritizing this higher.
