These email notifications are not sent to an admin, but to the email address that is stored in the wordpress settings. This is for security purposes and to inform the operator when someone has requested „Forgot password?“ and changed their password.

For websites with many users (e.g. communities, online stores, etc.) this can be quite annoying if emails arrive constantly.

To disable this feature, you need to add the following code to your website. You can do this either with a custom plugin or simply by using the Code Snippets plugin.

if ( !function_exists( 'wp_password_change_notification' ) ) {
    function wp_password_change_notification() {}
}

Important: The code does not work if you insert it in the functions.php file! This is because the functions.php file is executed after the mail is sent.Important: The code does not work if you insert it in the functions.php file!
