Isn't that because we are using LDAP for authentication and all forgotten passwords need to be recovered using labsconsole a.k.a. wikitech?

Shouldn't the gerrit login page have a link to the same too to fit user convenience?

Been filed upstream since 2013: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1991

You may need to add the support for both polygerrit and gwt ui.

Upstream are more in favour of changes for polygerrit then gwt ui.

It seems polygerrit uses the default login screen that gerrit provides.

What we could do is convert https://github.com/GerritCodeReview/gerrit/blob/461cff743afa2858e8f3ab7c51aacc698ab0fa5e/gerrit-httpd/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/httpd/auth/ldap/LoginForm.html into a soy template which would allow us to introduce a new variable and if we set it in gerrit with the forgotten link then it will show.

I would like to get upstream to support logging in / registering through rest api. That will allow us to get polygerrit to implement registering and creating accounts elements :).

I think we could potentially add support for this upstream if we follow how they do it for the error message.

We should add a new gerrit config that add a forgetPassword link.

Also side note, im updating the ui here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/402665/ (Author of css / javascript is markusguenther).

Here's the upstream change to support this https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/gerrit/+/151192/

We can use js to do this :)

It should really just point you to wikitech.wikimedia.org's page about reseting your password instead?

Yup, now that we have the refreshed login page im just going to add the link :)

Nowadays we have a custom login page with two links beneath it Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy. I guess we can add one to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset . That is defined by modules/gerrit/files/homedir/review_site/etc/GerritSiteFooter.html but that also reflects on every pages so it is not ideal.

Or we can use a css hack such as the one that adds the photo author name on the login page. That is defined in modules/gerrit/files/homedir/review_site/etc/GerritSite.css:

html.loginParent .gerritBody:after {
    content: "Image by Damien Boilley";
}

But that does not support HTML. So I guess we would need some javascript.

The Sign Up link does send people to Wikitech: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Gerrit/NewUser , so at least to create an account people are directed to the source of trust.

Gerrit theme configuration is described at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/config-themes.html GerritSiteFooter.html is apparently only used for the login page and "the internally managed Gitweb servlet" (which we are not using).

I will add a link to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset
