Hi @ale-re and welcome to meta! I moved your post into its own topic so we can look into it a bit more closely. How many password reset requests are you seeing? Is it only your account that is being targeted?

What you are describing seems a bit weird because there’s no particular benefit to bots requesting a password reset, since it just sends an email to the account owner.
