I am using web2py 1.74.5.

In Auth.retrieve_password() after form.accepts(...), there is a check
that the email address corresponds to a valid user.

Next there is a check of the user's registration_key value, however it
reads:

elif users[0].registration_key[:7] in ['pending', 'disabled']:
                self.environment.session.flash = \
                    self.messages.registration_pending
                redirect(self.url(args=request.args))

The users[0].registration_key[:7] only checks the first 7 characters
of the registration_key, which truncates 'disabled' to 'disable' and
fails the comparison as the truncated string is not in the list.  What
happens is that a disabled user's account will be automatically
enabled and they will be emailed a new password.

Really, the [:7] bit is not necessary or, if retained, should be
increased to [:8] in order to return the first 8 characters of the
'disabled' string.

Or am I missing something?
