Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/autofill-with-username-in-forgot-pas…sword-modal/365310 When `hide_email_address_taken` is enabled, we don't want to populate the username in the forgot email input, because we require an email address. This will remove username content that doesn't look like an email when that site setting is enabled. Before (username populated when email required): ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a6eb638-9b5e-4767-b111-e32cec94d8a7) After (username not populated, email is): ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2d5eff84-92f8-4f76-bc98-b66bc6381fd3) ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ecd071a0-804e-45ef-b0a2-ae331f87f029)
