Hey!

I think that adding an additional instruction message such as "Enter your email address and we will send you instructions on how to create a new password" when Registration Email As Username is enabled (registrationEmailAsUsername=true) would be a great enhancement to the user experience. This message will provide clarity to users who may be confused about the input field label, and will make it clear that they need to enter their email address to receive password reset instructions. This small enhancement will improve the user experience.

What do you think about that? Something like this

login-reset-password.ftl
...
<#elseif section = "info" >
    <#if realm.duplicateEmailsAllowed>
        ${msg("emailInstructionUsername")}
+   <#elseif realm.registrationEmailAsUsername>
+       ${msg("emailInstructionEmail")}
    <#else>
        ${msg("emailInstruction")}
    </#if>
</#if>
...

messages_en.properties
...
 emailInstruction=Enter your username or email address and we will send you instructions on how to create a new password.
+emailInstructionEmail=Enter your email address and we will send you instructions on how to create a new password.
 emailInstructionUsername=Enter your username and we will send you instructions on how to create a new password.
