Utility for Users who Forget Passwords? - Stephen - 01-13-2010

Has anyone written a utility for users who cannot log in because they have forgotten their password? They're one-way encrypted so we can't retrieve them, but they could be reset much like in the User Admin area.
Is this planned for a future release?
Great product, thanks!

Sounds like a valid request. You should add this as a Feature Request....

I wrote something that lets people reset their passwords:
- starts as a link below the log in form
- asks for a username
- if the username is found it sends them an email to the address in the database with a security code
- they follow the link and the security code is checked
- if the security code passes they can reset their password
- redirects them to the form so they can log in with the new password
Please post to this thread with your email address if you would like me to email you the PHP file. You have to add one column to the user table to hold the password reset code, and add a link to the log in form page (index.php). We have different formatting so I've stripped the formatting out, so you'll have to add your own HTML/CSS formatting in.

If you add that as a patch then I can include that with the next release.

Great, I didn't realize I could add it that way. It's in there now, thanks! Let me know if anything is weird or doesn't make sense.
