Description

When you change your password or signup for a new account in a multisite install it is easy for a plugin to enforce extra rules by using one of the available filters for pre-validation of the POST data.

The Password Reset process doesn't have a a suitable hook.

Why do you use do_action_ref_array() ?

Replying to scribu:

Why do you use do_action_ref_array() ?

Probably because it is ingrained in my coding and it is how the code I based this on works - filters in the User Profile update validation.

No, I mean why do you use do_action_ref_array() instead of just do_action()? We're not in PHP4 anymore. :)
