Chris Hill-Scott e0e445c520 Stop enumeration of email addresses via forgot pw
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/113840073

Previously the forgot password page would give an error if you entered an email
address which didn’t belong to an account.

This would allow a potential attacker to know which email addresses were
registered.

This commit changes the response to always be the same, whether or not the email
address exists.

Also, this is a good read about the dangers of asserting whether a mocked method
was called: http://engineeringblog.yelp.com/2015/02/assert_called_once-threat-or-menace.html
