eMember – password missing on approved email

[hitokaramedia]

Hi, there.

Thank you for making such a great plugin.

My question is that I couldn’t get password info from notification email with email tags {password} when I changed an account state from ‘Pending’ to ‘Active’.

On the other hand, I could get {company_name}, {last_name}, {first_name} and so on.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

The user password for eMember is not a plain text field so you can’t just view the password text. The password is encrypted using the same encryption the is used by WordPress (it is a one way encryption). This guarantees that only the user will ever know the password. This is the best security practice for storing user password in the database.

So the {password} tag won’t work on any email where the user didn’t enter the password. Because when the user enters the password in a form field, it simply copies whatever the user entered and puts it in the email. After that, the plugin has no way of knowing what the plain text password is (it only knows the encrypted value).

Thanks for your reply. I understand that the password is encrypted.

It can be sent the password info to users with only registration completed mail, right?

Yes, the registration complete mail will be able to use the {password} tag.
