It seems concerning that a person can request and receive a clear text password for an Active Directory account through the Password Retrieve feature in DNN, and all they need to know is the name of a user account. How is this feature disabled when the AD Provider is installed?

Because the login control is in a wrapper it's an all or nothing situation (you can't allow it for DNN logins and not allow it for AD logins).  If you open up Admin\Authentication\Login.ascx and change:

<asp:Linkbutton id="cmdPassword" resourcekey="cmdForgotPassword" cssclass="CommandButton" text="Forgot Password?" runat="server" />

to

<asp:Linkbutton id="cmdPassword" resourcekey="cmdForgotPassword" cssclass="CommandButton" text="Forgot Password?" runat="server" Visible="false" />

that will stop it from being visible. But note that you'll have to do this on every upgrade of the DNN core files.

Bummer. Thanks for the method!
