This is a frequently requested feature from the community, which until now required a layout override of default.php just to remove these links.

Summary of Changes

Adds two new parameters to the Login module (mod_login) so administrators can optionally hide the "Forgot your password?" and "Forgot your username?" links without needing a template override:

  • Reset Password Link (showPasswordReset) — show/hide the password reset link.
  • Forgot Username Link (showUsernameReminder) — show/hide the username reminder link.

Both options default to Show, so existing sites and module instances are completely unaffected. The links only disappear when an admin explicitly switches them off.

Testing Instructions

  1. Apply this Pull Request - Patchtester
  2. Go to System → Site Modules and open (or create) a Login module
  3. On the Module tab, note the two new switchers: Reset Password Link and Forgot Username Link.
  4. Set both to Show, save, and view the module on the frontend.
  5. Set one or both to Hide, save, and view the module on the frontend again

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

The "Forgot your password?" and "Forgot your username?" links are always displayed in the Login module. The only way to remove them is a template/layout override.

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

Each link can be shown or hidden independentmeters. Default behaviour (both shown) isunchanged.

it works but I think this is the wrong place. it is only removing the cosmetic link in the module not the functionality and personally if I want to prevent password reset etc then it should be an option in the component the same as the option for creating accounts is managed in the component options but displayed in the module

The usecase as i found out is to have the links still working but use them in another place

Then this module satisfies the usecase
