 === Steps taken
 1. Add the following snippet to `functions.php` or via `Code Snippets`
 plugin to cause intentional email failure.


 {{{
 add_action( 'phpmailer_init', function( $phpmailer ) {
     $phpmailer->isSMTP();
     $phpmailer->Host = 'invalid.smtp.host';
     $phpmailer->Port = 587;
 });
 }}}


 2. Use `/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword` to remind a password for a user
 3. Confirm that the following message is displayed:


 {{{
 Error: The email could not be sent. Your site may not be correctly
 configured to send emails. Get support for resetting your password.
 }}}

 4. In Dashboard Users > All Users page, click `Send password reset` of any
 user
 5. Confirm the following message is displayed:


 {{{
 Password reset links sent to 0 users.
 }}}

 6. Apply the patch and test both `/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword` and
 dashboard password reminder screens
 7. ❌ Patch is failing.

 === Expected result
 - We expect to see the an error message displayed on the Users > All Users
 page similar to the one displayed on the login lost password screen.

 === Screenshots/Screencast with results
 Error message on the `/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword` screen
