"Forgot Password" reminder alteration


abduraooft

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Some new systems with user interaction option have a facility to remind the user about his password as follows...

 

When a user type an email-id to get the password, the system send a link to that id(if exists) with a provision for changing the password. A text like "Hi, some one (hopefuly you) made a request to change password. Nothin done yet now, if you wish to change, please click on the link"

 

(Ofcource the link will contain an authentication key and can be used only once )

 

An example is http://pbwiki.com

 

Any add on module developed, if so pease inform me

 

regards

Why I am looking for such an option is that I am afraid of change in password to someone without a notification(if he failed to check his mail) by another person by simply typing the victim's email-id in the form of password forgotten page. It might be due to typing mistake or by intentionally...

 

To get rid of this problem I've been looking for a solution..

 

Please help me.

 

thanks n regards,

What about using a temporory password field and modify it at the time of reminder request.

 

Thus user gets two passwords, the temporory one can be used only once while the origianal will remain as such with all the capabilities..

 

Please give me some suggestions to modify my code as above as I'm afraid of side affects , to make any change in the current working code

 

thanks
