Resolves #342

Changes

  • Replaced the deprecated /api/v1/web/accounts/account_recovery_send_ajax/ endpoint with /api/v1/users/check_email/.
  • Updated the response logic to parse email_is_taken properly.
  • This successfully circumvents the 429 rate limit issue that was reported.

@shredzwho Good find, this is much better.

Since it moved away from the forgot-password flow to a dedicated API endpoint, the checks should now be more accurate and it also avoids notifying the target email address like before

Nice work!

I have pushed a follow up commit to remove it from LOUD_MODULES list.
