While I agree with most of those, how many of the points are just a matter of author's preference? Is there any data behind it? > Important step here: Once I type the new password and click “OK” you automatically log me in. I don’t have to go log back in again. I actually prefer to have a chance to log in using my new password so that I can save it in the browser. If it logs me in automatically, I need to log out, and log back in. Or worse, I forget to save the password and have to do the whole reset password dance again next time.
