I want to write a plugin hook for wp-login.php?action=lostpassword.

Does anyone know what the add_action() is for wp-login.php?action=lostpassword?

I searched the CODEX and could not discover it.

Thank you.

The login form actions are located in wp-login.php here and here.

// "login_form_{$action}"
login_form_lostpassword
login_form_postpass
login_form_logout

lostpassword_form
resetpass_form
register_form

There's also the general login_init which will fire for all actions.

To enqueue scripts on login, use login_enqueue_scripts. Right after that, login_head will allow you to add custom meta tags, etc. to the <head>.

The end of the page is injectable with login_footer.

  • If you need to adjust (or add) errors, use lostpassword_post, which comes with an argument \WP_Error $errors.
  • If it's about passwords, you can use validate_password_reset which has two arguments, first again the \WP_Error $errors and the current \WP_User $user as second (or another \WP_Error in case the user is errornous).

  • Thank you very much @Milo. login_init is exactly what I was looking for.
