Magento password-reset not working

Question

I have a Magento webshop (1.9.2.3.) with a lot of registered customers. When going to My Account -> Forgot password, a registered customer can fill out his/her e-mail address. When clicking on 'Send' button, the shop shows an 'Server Error 500'.

It's the only place where the error shows up. What can be the problem? What to do to fix this?

This is the page and you can give it try with my e-mail: [email protected] https://www.hoesjesonline.nl/customer/account/forgotpassword/

I hope there's a solution.

PS: The problem was there with Magento 1.9.2.2, just upgraded to 1.9.2.3 and it's still there.

Answer 1

Since Magento 1.9.2.2 it is required to send a form key with the forgot password form.

In your template customer/form/forgotpassword.phtml put:

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

Just under the <form action="..."> tag. Refresh the cache and see if the hidden input with a form key is present in the page.

Hopefully this will solve your issue :)
