Reset community password somewhat broken?

От

One of my co-workers is unable to reset her community password.  She 
gets the following response from the server:

Internal Server Error
Recovery key not found for user!

If you want/need to look up her account on the server, the user portion 
of her email address is 'amy', same host as my email address...

Thank You

I guess that error happens after clicking the URL mentioned in the email  sent after asking for a new password?From a
quicklook it seems that there is some insufficient URL escaping 
 
going on in that code path and it might be that failure/success in 
resetting might depend on the browser used.
I will look into the underlying issue but it would be interesting to 
know what OS/browser combination is used here.

this is actually a more subtile issue :) what happens here is that by 
pure chance the resethash generated is ending with a "." and firefox is 
helpfully stripping that from the url if you simply click it...

For now either copy & paste the url to your browser or ask for another 
reset (causing a new hash to be generated).
