    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It is possible to see which user exists on Confluence or not from within "Forgot Password" link.

      This is bad for security reasons.

      If you enter a non-existant username, it currently warns "No user with that username exists".

      Instead, the feature should give same message, regardless of whether the username given actually exists or not, such as "Please check the email address you signed up with".

      We appreciate your consideration.

      Regards,
      JP Support
