email_subject=
email_subject="Your Username"Subject of email sent to user.
email_template=

If no template is defined or if the template defined does not exist, the default Member Profile Template for a forgotten username will be used.
return=
return="member/login/forgot-username"This parameter allows you to define where the user will be returned after successfully completing the form. The parameter can be defined in two ways:
- Use the standard Template_Group/Template syntax to specify where to return the user. For instance, if you want the user to be returned to the “local” Template in the “news” Template Group, you would use: return=”member/login/forgot-username”
- Use a full URL. For example: return=”https://example.com/member/login/forgot-username.html“
