How to fix the TYPO3 Password Reminder Error


After the last updates up to 9.5.8, all users get the message after login that they should change their password. For me as an admin that works just fine but all other users, once they hit "ok" on the popup receive an error that outputs the following

typo3/undefined

It is also not an error in the typical typo3 style or something, more like a full blank page with that text on it.

I tried to simulate one of those users and I was not able to find a general section if a user wants to change the password. Is that because I'm simulating the user or are there some access rights missing that prevent the user from changing his password? And if yes, can this be the reason for the password reminder not to work?

Any ideas? Help is much appreciated.


Solution

  • The reminder is nothing but a link to the User-Settings section. The Privilege was not granted and that was the reason for the Typo3/undefined error. We activated the access to User-Settings for our users and now the reminder works just fine.
