Steps to reproduce:

• click on sign in
• click on create account
• click on Forgot password

You'll see a red error saying email address is required, but you are not clicking on "Save", so there shouldn't be validation.

See screenshot

Update:
The validation error appears when click anywhere in create account page.
For 6.2, click on Forgot Password directly in create account page, it shows the email address is required and it's redirected to Forgot Password page.
For master/7.0, click on Forgot Password directly, it shows the screen name is required and it stays on the same page. It will be redirected only after the validation error appears.
