[keycloak-dev] A disabled user receives a confusing info message, if he tries to reset his password

[Stian Thorgersen]

This is intentional. If we provide specific error messages on reset password it can be used to find out whether or not a username/email is valid. Same applies to login, instead of saying invalid username it just says invalid username or password.

As an improvement we could extend the message to say if you haven't received a message within a certain time, then retry or contact an admin/support.
