I’m getting password reset emails that I didn’t request. How do I prevent this from happening?
You can prevent unsolicited password reset emails by enabling Enhanced Password Reset (EPR) (note: this tool is currently in development). This is a feature that requires users to provide both a username and email address on Special:PasswordReset. If both are provided, a password reset email will be sent. If both are not provided, the password reset email will not be sent.

This feature was developed by the Community Tech team, in response to #3 wish in the 2019 Wishlist Survey. (EPR) enhances privacy because Wikimedia users may know your username (but not your email address). Meanwhile, some people may know your email address (but not your username). Consequently, spammers and trolls are less likely to generate unwanted password reset emails, if you enable this feature.

To enable the feature, go to the “” section in “” You can click on the checkbox that states, “”. Once you click the checkbox and save, the preference is enabled.

Once you enable this preference, users will not be informed that both the username and email addresses are required on Special:PasswordReset (for security reasons). For this reason, '' you must remember to enter both your username and email address on Special:PasswordReset. ''

You may have not received a password reset email for many reasons, including:


 * You did not add an email address to your account. If this is the case, see instructions in Section 2 for how to associate an email address with an account.

 * You only entered a username or email address (i.e., not both), and the Password Reset Update was enabled. If this is the case, we recommend that you try requesting a password reset again, with both your username and email address.
 * The email was sent to Spam or another folder that you have not yet checked.
