So I imported all our mailman2 lists into mailman3, and it appears it didn't preserve passwords. So my wife (who administers 3 lists of her own) tried to use the reset password link (multiple times) but she never gets the email. I don't see any outgoing email to her in mail.log, or any of the mailman logs. I do the exact same thing as her and I get the email. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for?

Mailman 2.1 passwords have no meaning in Mailman 3 and aren't imported. in MM 2.1 passwords were per list per member.

In Mailman 3 core, there are no corresponding passwords. Passwords are for logging in to the web UI which is separate.

Bottom line. You need to go to <https://your.site/accounts/signup/> and signup for an account. Then if you have more than one email address, go to <https://your.site/accounts/email/> and add your other addresses.

Then, once logged in you should be able to manage any lists for which one of your addresses was imported as an owner and moderate any lists for which one of your addresses was imported as a moderator.

Your wife can't get a password reset email because she hasn't signed up for an account and there is no password to reset. Apparently you did sign up for an account or maybe if you've configured any social account logins, you logged in with one of those which will create an account for you.

You might find <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/django-primer.html> useful. It discusses a bit about Django which is the web framework for Postorius and HyperKitty.
