I have a WordPress Site that is the SSO provider for Discourse using the WPDiscourse plugin.

I am not sure when it started happening but probably in the last couple of months, when a new user tries to register to the site they receive an activation link that looks like this without WP\_Discourse plugin:

> **[Lost Password ‹ Foundation for Intentional Community — WordPress](https://www.ic.org/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword&error=invalidkey)**

And works well, but when DiscourseWP is active the activation link looks like:

[https://www.ic.org/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=WBY2TEgStZiyj0DmqdrO&mail\_key=1706042380\_QlvCHBt2HfsX3YAqByQJ&login=reg5](https://www.ic.org/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=WBY2TEgStZiyj0DmqdrO&mail_key=1706042380_QlvCHBt2HfsX3YAqByQJ&login=reg5)

and I see the following message:

Any clues?
