Re: password()... is it possible?

I am not sure of the decrypting procedure for password(), but if your admin needs to view the passwords for the purpose of changing or notifying forgotten passwords to the custormer you could use this approach: Generate a random password (numbers and letters) that is emailed to the user. The user then logs on with their USERNAME and the new password. Of course, the user then should be influenced to change the generated password to something of their choice. This works well in that you can increase your security by letting the user know that 'nobody' will know their password, thus limiting access to the users account/session to them alone. If this isn't the case that you are dealing with, then I am just babbling away... hope it helps ;) César aracena wrote:

Hi all, I need the administrators of one site to actually see the user's passwords. I like using password() for encrypting but doesn't know if it can be retrieved in common English. Thanks, Cesar Aracena <mailto:webmaster@icaam.com.ar> CE / MCSE+I Neuquen, Argentina +54.299.6356688 +54.299.4466621
