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

Unfortunately, it isn't implemented like that.

Have a look at the authenticateInternal method of the AuthenticationManager class.
AuthenticationStatus.ACCOUNT_DISABLED;
is returned before the validCredentials method is invoked.

Thank you, that sounds logical.
I just wondered, because you have a different error message for disabled
users on the login screen.
"Account is disabled, contact admin"

That should only be shown after a user has logged in with valid username/password, if you try to login with an invalid password and disabled user it should show invalid username/password.

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.

A disabled user receives the following info message, if he tries to reset his
password:
You should receive an email shortly with further instructions.
This is a bit confusing. A message like that would be nicer:
Failed to send email, please contact the administrator.
I will create a PR if that is ok with you?
