Changing the Password line in the profile update page

[Frank]

Is there any way to change the form on the password line for the profile update form to NOT be a password field (just dots) but actually displaying the typed out password or add a second password confirm box to ensure that they do put in the right password?

Thanks

Open the “eMember_profile_utils.php” file and search for the following:

<td><input type="password" id="wp_emember_pwd" name="wp_emember_pwd" size="20" value="" class="eMember_text_input" />

Once you find it change it to the following:

<td><input type="text" id="wp_emember_pwd" name="wp_emember_pwd" size="20" value="" class="eMember_text_input" />

This will make it show the typed password to the user. We have plans to add in a 2nd password confirm box.

We added a confirm password field to the edit profile page.

It sounds like you have made changes to the password field and added a confirm password field. How is this supposed to work?

A few days ago, I deleted the emember databases and reinstalled the plugin. On the “update member profile” page, a password field and a retype the password word field are displayed with nothing in the fields. These fields are required and the user must enter their password and confirm it to change their profile. This is very inconvenient for the user. Is this the way the system works now?

From reading the previous posts in this thread, it sounds like there are supposed to be “dots” in the password field. That’s what I remember from the previous version. Is my version working correctly?

Thanks,

When we added the “Retype Password” field it was necessary to make the password field required at profile update. This is not really a big hassle if you think about it since member do not update their profile that often. However, we will look into this some more and see what we can do to better the user experience.

Update: We made some changes and now users can leave the password field empty if they are not updating it.
