It forces them to create workarounds, thus (in my view) defeating the underlaying purpose of PEAR: "Simplify your life" Oh well. Walter BTW: What I find very interesting is that last year I asked about adding "change password" to the class and was informed that this "feature" is outside the sphere of what Auth does: Authentication, not user management. After some reflection, I came to agree. Now I see that this "feature" has been added under the suggestion of someone else. I sure would like to know what his arguements where to convice the powers that be to add "changePassword".
