Description

Everytime a user resets it's password I receive an email to my admin email.

As far as I know I cannot disable it by a setting.

I can apply the following snippet

add_filter( 'send_password_change_email', '__return_false' );

But I believe it should be somewhere over WordPress settings.

That's all

Research direction

Start by tracing the send_password_change_email filter in the WordPress codebase and identify where password-change notifications are generated. Review the existing settings patterns before deciding where such an option could belong. Done means the notification can be controlled through a WordPress setting, with the existing filter behavior preserved or covered by relevant tests.
