Hi at all,
whenever I try to re-request a password MediaWiki tells me that I have
to wait another 24 hours until I can do this.
My understanding is that $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle [0] is there to help
be control this behaviour. No matter what I set to this parameter, even
"false" I am still being asked to wait for 24 hours.
I am using redis for caching. My theory is that you need memcached for
this to work and if memcached is not present MediaWiki enforces a day,
no matter what. Is this about right or is there something else at play?
Bonus question: Is there a another way to change this 24 hours period?
Probably not but hope dies last. :)
Thanks for your time.
Cheers, Karsten
