Netlify Identity widget displays "user not found" when user clicks pw reset email

[teakwood]

I have a Netlify Identity user for one of my sites who can successfully generate a pw reset email (and I confirmed that I can see their account in the Netlify App page).

When they click on the link in the email, it opens up on my site with the identity widget open, and the widget says “user not found”.

I’ve reproduced this behavior on my end by taking over the users account and switching their email to an email address I control. I also receive the pw reset email, and when I click on the link it still says user not found.

When I open up the dev console I see this error:
/.netlify/identity/verify:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

Try reissuing a new git gateway token in the Netlify identity settings (all the way down).

'Not Found' when trying to login with Netlify Identity

It seems* that disabling Git Gateway in the Netlify UI, revoking Netlify Auth access in my personal Github account (not the one where the repo lies) and then enabling Git Gateway in the Netlify UI again has solved the problem. *seems: because the owner of the Github Account (where the repo lies) did the same and maybe that did the trick.

Thanks I’m not using Git Gateway so that might have been a different issue.

This is a production site that has been live for over a year with active users. Just hitting this issue this AM so I’m wondering if there’s a new bug / outage.
