Description

Currently, it is possible to retrieve valid e-mailaddreses from the system by simply trying to request a password for it. If the emailaddress is not valid, Redmine will show a notification stating this.

It would be better to have this form output a success message in every scenario in order to make e-mail harvesting harder.
