      Description

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Click on "Forgot your username?" on the login screen
      • Open http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/ForgotUsername and add both a valid email associated to an user and an invalid email

      Result: the platform confirms if the user exists or not.

      Expected result: a generic message concerning the user without confirming if it exists or not (e.g. "If the account is registered on the application, you will receive a dedicated message").
