Re: Password encryption and password retrieval

Hi You are doing the right thing storing passwords encrypted! You may use any of the one way digest like secure hash 1 (sha1) or md5 or a combination to generate a hash. In case your user forgets his password, there is no way to reconstruct it. You need to provide an interface where the user can enter their email and the script sends a message to the user with a token. Afterwards, this token is used as one time password to login and change the password.
