Research direction

Start by tracing the forgotten-password form to the database email lookup in this Ruby repository. Compare lookups using the capitalization variants shown in the issue and identify the existing password-recovery tests, if any. Done means valid email addresses match regardless of capitalization without changing which account is selected.

Description

enhancement tmc-legacy-course

When entering an email for a forgotten password, the form does case sensitive matching between the emails in the database and the one entered. This is a bad bug, if someone cannot remember how exactly they entered their email, e.g:

Chang.rajani
or
chang.Rajani
or
Chang.Rajani
