<p>Prevents password reset for select users via the WordPress “lost password” form. This plugin adds a checkbox to each user’s profile in the admin. If selected, it prevents the user’s password from being reset.  If a user selects to prevent their password from being reset, no one can try to reset the password.  It stops it completely.</p>
<p>Things to keep in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you lose your password, you won’t be able to reset it either unless you remove the plugin via FTP, go into the database, or have an administrator on the site change your password.</li>
<li>This plugin does not disable the ability to edit/change a password from the user profile page. It merely blocks password resetting from the “lost password” form.</li>
</ul>

<p>As an administrator of a WordPress site with many users, it is often useful to login to a user’s account to troubleshoot something. Asking for their password is tacky and having to reset it is amateurish. Thankfully, you don’t have to do either when you’re armed with this plugin. You can login to the site with any user’s account by providing admin username followed by a “+” followed by their username and your administrative password. All other user authentication is passed on to WordPress core. Handy, huh?</p>
<p>To login as user joeblow you’d provide:</p>
<pre><code>Username = admin+joeblow
Password = [the admin's password]
</code></pre>
