Simple Password Reset is a module for Drupal 8.x which changes the user
experience when resetting their password.  Also setting the password the
first time.

Without this module, Drupal emails the user a link to a "one-time login"
page.  On that page, they click "Log in" and on the next page they may
edit their password.

With this module, Drupal emails a link and on that page the user may edit
his/her password.  That is, the "one-time login" page is skipped entirely.

This is useful because it streamlines the process.  Also, many users find
the one-time login page confusing and unexpected.  So not needing that is
a good thing.

The idea for this module comes from Dave Cohen, and is described in detail
in his blog at http://www.dave-cohen.com/node/1000030.

* Installation

Enable the module as you would any other Drupal 7.x module.

On install, this module will adjust its own weight to 1 (instead of 0).
This is so our form_alter hooks act after system.module's. If for any
reason your system.module (or, any module that alters the password form)
has a weight higher than 0, you may want to manually change the weight of
this module to be even higher.

* Issue Queue

When submitting issues, a proper issue begins with the sentence "I read
the README.txt."
