Confirming the misalignment issue. Quick and dirty fix would be to change the first entry for "margin" for #p-personal #forgot_container .mini_forgot from -5px to -20px, but I still don't understand why there is an issue in the first place.

I am interested in fixing this bug. Please assign this bug to me.

Note that saying "email address" instead of "login" or "username" is custom code in Wikimedia Bugzilla. The code can be found in

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access for more information.
