Forgot Password Feature

[Reyner]

Hello,

I would like to recommend 'Forgot Password' feature in the login prompt so the username/password can be sent to the registered owner.

Just a thought to already great software!

Best regards,

It's been discussed previously (try a search to find them )... it would be impossible to email the password since passwords are one-way encrypted.

An option would be to send an email with a link to confirm it, then email a new password once the link has been clicked... similar to how these forums manage forgotten passwords.

You could implement it yourself if you really wanted, but you'd have to create PHP scripts or similar to log any password changes and update a database full of user passwords - something I wouldn't want to do personally. Even by encrypting the database, it's still a bad idea.
