If the "recover password" form submit button is double-clicked two emails will be sent

[Tiia Rantanen]

Some users tend to double-click all buttons and links. On the password recovery form (/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) when the submit button is double-clicked, two emails will be sent. At this point the user is confused about which link to use to recover the password and fails finishing the recovery.

It would be good for the submit button to have a time limit or some other means to prevent a double-click from happening.

Hi @tiia-rantanen, Welcome to WordPress Trac! Thank you for your ticket.

Nice cache. System send multiple password reset links to an account when we click multiple time in recover password button so system has to disable double click event on button using JS code.

Since the form is submitted without using JS and the submission anyway results in page reload, disabling the button on click looks to be a potential solution.
