How to turn off forgot username and password

Asked by Jeffrey Kiefer 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

I just installed Joomla 4.40 and I am using Helix 2.0.15 along with the helix template and SP page builder pro. How/where do I turn off the forgot username and password feature on the login box. It used to be in the User Options area but now I can't seem to find it.

Hello Jeffrey Kiefer

You can remove code from this file:
plugins/system/helixultimate/overrides/com_users/login/default_login.php

But you have to do it everytime after an update. Or you can hide it with Custom CSS. Custom CSS option is hassle-free and much convenient.

Best regards

Jeffrey, If I may....

  1. Method (with code customization) - physically will remove links from the code.
  2. Methid (with Custom CSS) - will hide links from the users eyes, they won't be able to click them in normal way, but they will be still in sourcecode.

I don't think so that Joomla 4.4 allows to hide those two links by default, that's why it request extra efford from webmaster.


If we talk about Login component view below Custom CSS (#2) will hide all 3 links below Login Box:

.login .list-group > a {display: none; visibility: hidden;}

Thank you so much! The CSS display:none is the option for me as it makes it easy to turn them back on in the future if needed. Thank you for this easy solution.
