In this article, I will be showing a quick and easy way to fix the password reset key error in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s the cause of the \u201cWordPress Could Not Save Password Reset Key\u201d Error?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The password reset key error also known as WordPress login refresh error being unable to write new data on your WordPress database as a result of you using up all the disk space allocated to your web server by your hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time you attempt logging into your site, you will be met with a login page that keeps refreshing. And when you click on the reset the password, you will receive the \u2018Could not save password reset key to database\u2019 error message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an indication of the used-up disk space. You can check your server\u2019s disk space using your cPanel.

Once you find the folder, open it and go to the <strong>uploads <\/strong>folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your uploads folder, locate and delete large files that you may not need anymore. Just set the files sorting according to their <strong>Size <\/strong>to find them. You can also delete old files that have contents you don\u2019t need anymore.
