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.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
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
