API Basics trailhead has incorrect info about getting security token

The "API Basics" trailhead has a chapter on "Use SOAP API".  The trailhead has this sentence: "Your security token is emailed to you whenever you reset your password."

When I followed the instructions to reset my password the email sent to me did not have a security token.  Instead I had to reset my security token using these instructions:

https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=user_security_token.htm&type=5

Once I reset my security token, I received the email with the new token.

I feel the trailhead needs to be updated to instruct users to reset there security token in order to have a new token emailed to you.
