 This is a simple terminology change with a huge impact on the end user.

 Since v4.3, WordPress is no longer sends passwords via email. WordPress
 sends only password reset links. WordPress also notifies by e-mail when a
 password is changed.

 Across WordPress core, the old "'''Lost my password?'''" phrase already
 replaced with the new "'''Reset Password'''" / "'''Password Reset'''"
 phrases. But in some places we still use the old "'''Lost my password?'''"
 phrase.

 This ticket aim is to replace the remaining strings in the login page, and
 in email notifications.

 === Login Page ===

 In the reset screen, the page title is "'''Password Reset'''".

 But in the "'''Login page'''", the 3 action links under the form -
 '''Login''' / '''Register''' / '''Lost your password?'''

 We should replace the old '''Lost your password?''' phrase with the new
 "'''Reset Password'''" action.

 === Mail notifications ===

 When WordPress notifies by e-mail that the password is changed, we use the
 "'''Password Lost and Changed for user...'''" phrase.

 Why not simplify this? "'''Password Changed for user...'''"
