We also made an important security change: password resets can now only be requested using an email address when logged out. For some exciting news, we also finished our work making AO3 emails translatable! We're now going to target other areas of AO3 for internationalization.

February is approaching with faster-than-light speed, which means it's nearly time for International Fanworks Day (IFD) once again!
