I'm wondering if we're running into T347692 here.
@BamLifa, I see that your account has cn: BamLifa, uid: bam92. Could you go to https://idm.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/password/ and try to enter your uid instead of your cn?

Now you can click the "reset password" button. You reach here https://idm.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/password/. Enter your email and wait and wait and wait, the link never arrives.

That's the problem we have.

Thank you again for your time!

I end up on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset instead.

Yes, I did skip it because it's no longer possible to reset from there (see image below).

Hi @BamLifa, please provide a list of clear steps to reproduce the situation (e.g. how and where someone tries to "reset" something), plus what exactly happens at which stage (full error messages, etc).
It also might be easier to join #wikimedia-tech on Libera IRC to debug this.

The patch needs review ;). The only "improvement" it needs is a rebase at this point

In the past, AHT stepped in to support Trust & Safety with the time-sensitive matter of the Board Elections by providing help with SecurePoll. Unfortunately, at this time we can no longer support nor maintain SecurePoll. Per the Foundation leadership’s instructions, AHT is dedicating all of our time and energy to other critical efforts.
