Six Apart has released Movable Type 4.24 which is a mandatory security release. It`s recommended for all users and fixes a significant security issue affecting users of Movable Type Pro or the Movable Type Community Solution, versions 4.0 or greater. In addition to fixing the potential security issue, Movable Type 4.24 introduces a vastly improved password recovery system for all users of Movable Type.
The old password recovery system for MT required users to remember a password recovery hint. MT 4.24, Movable Type now automatically get a standard password recovery system that emails a password reset link to the email address that a user has on file.
