TerryK Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'm working on the password_forgotten.php page and see that it generates a new password if a customer can't remember the password they used to create their account. Is there a reason why that can't be set to send them their ORIGINAL password instead of generating a new one? After all, isn't the password retained in the database (albeit in encrypted form)? Is there a way it could be set up to send their original password? Would love someone to shed some light on this for me.

TerryK Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Also, I'd like to include a link to my site's login page in the mail message. In /catalog/includes/languages/password_forgotten.php, the current language definition is: define('EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY', 'A new password was requested from ' . $REMOTE_ADDR . '.' . "\n\n" . 'Your new password to \'' . STORE_NAME . '\' is:' . "\n\n" . ' %s' . "\n\n"); Can anyone tell me how to add the login.php link to that?

Mark Evans Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Is there a reason why that can't be set to send them their ORIGINAL password instead of generating a new one? Yes there is a reason :) The resaon being is the password is encrpyted with an md5 hash which is a 1 way encryption.
