BTW, this is important and something I just remembered from when I did
this myself.  A blank search will match every entry in the db,
therefore, if someone tries to request a password and leaves all of the
criteria blank, IC will send every user in the system their username and
password.  This only happens if you have modified the system to allow
multiple matches when emailing a password.  I know this because I
learned it myself the hard way.  To fix this problem add code similar to
this up near the top of get_password.html:

[comment]Avoid empty searchspec[/comment]
[bounce href="[area login]" if=`!$CGI_array->{mv_searchspec}->[1]`]


Note that this code will probably break for you.  It works for me
because I modified the password retrieval to only use the email address.
 You will likely need to check more than one variable.
