Forgotten Username returns 

        Unable to find user name. Please try again.
        5016 ERROR_CANT_MATCH_USER
if  a search comes up empty.   

Based on following the PWM log (Trace),  it appears that the  Forgotten Username module goes into the Intruder Detection flow if there's not a match.  Is that where these messages come from? Is there any way to modify the message when it's unmatched?

I'm specifically looking to see if the record matches an attribute in a filter.  If there is no match for that attribute I'd like to display a different message.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

Peter

Yes, you can modify all error messages in the config editor error messages section.
