Silverstripe Version: 4.14
**Question: Why does setting “notify_password_change: false” in config not work — a password change is still triggering the email send? The code in /project/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Security/Member.php starting at about line 900 has this line: “&& static::config()->get(‘notify_password_change’)” which seems to test for “notify_password_change: true”. Why would the config setting not be working?
**
As described in https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/changelogs/4.11.0/ :
The
SilverStripe\Security\Member.notify_password_change
configuration has been set totrue
by default – it used to befalse
. This means when a user changes their password on a project in “live” mode, they will recieve an email alerting them that their password was changed. The email includes a link to change their password again, so that users can recover their account in the event that someone else changed their password without their knowledge.This change was made to improve the default security of your projects, but if you do not want this behaviour you can disable it by setting the configuration back to false:
```
SilverStripe\Security\Member:
notify_password_change: false
```
