Wordpress - Disable user notification on password change

Question

Our client wants to disable the default notification email that sends Wordpress when someone uses the "forgot password" form.

The client uses a theme that also sends out an email with the new password so the default notification should be disabled.

But I don't know how to do this, can anyone help me with this?

Add this line to your function file to disable default password change notification in wordpress.

To disable the notice of changed email sent by the wp_update_user() function, simply use the filter hook to return false:

add_filter( 'send_email_change_email', '__return_false' );

Method 2

if ( !function_exists( 'wp_password_change_notification' ) ) { function wp_password_change_notification() {} }

put this code in your plugin file for method 2. Note - it will not work if you put in your theme function file

Method 3 - use this plugin to get required output

Hi, I tried this but it keeps sending out the email notification with subject "Message about password change".
Unfortunately I still get 2 notifications. I did the option with the code snippet plugin or do I really need to make a plugin?
Try method 3 if you don't want to create plugin. else in method 2 its good if you can create custom plugin
