Would this not be an update to the user model?  That is, changing a
password would be as simple as updating the user model.

However, lost password recovery is something else.  From my
understanding, REST is not only a way to design web sites that are
then easier to use as an API, but to allow others to put their web
front-end on top of your RESTful database back-end.  If this is the
case, wouldn''t lost password recovery be something that the front-end
might do, given the basic primitives you provide?

To be honest, REST not something I am following closely, but I do
understand the need for a unique operation at a unique address.  No
more index.php-does-everything for me :)
