When using Extension:ConfirmAccount, is there a time

while,

table is empty for this user.
I believe ConfirmAccount uses MediaWiki's core reset-password-by-email
system once an account has been approved; those temporary passwords expire
after $wgNewPasswordExpiry seconds, which defaults to a week:
