I have my PC and my phone. On my PC I have myself logging in automatically, and I just got a new cell phone. I forgot my password on the phone so I sent a recovery email. But I opened the email to reset password on the PC. When I opened the reset-password email with the PC, it sent me to the homepage and broke the link. So to successfully reset the password I had to open the email link with the same device I could not login with. This seemed weird.

I know this is a super edge case, but I figured I'd mention it for you. No worries if this is too much of a corner case to care.

This is the normal behavior. You’re supposed to reset your password on devices you aren’t logged in.

Gotcha, Thanks for the update!

It does the same thing if you try to open /login or /register when logged in. If you already have a session opened, it will automatically redirect you to your default homepage.
