eMember – Seeing members passwords

[Troy Media]

Some of our members email us requesting their passwords, which they’ve forgotten. While we have been sending them to the Reset password page, the password sent to them often doesn’t work, frustrating them, and us.

Is there a way to view their password so we can simply send it to them?

No. The database only contains a one-way hash, formed from the original password.

You might try limiting the character set used for the random password:

You should also read the following posts to understand why passwords are stored using a one-way hash:

Remember, you can always set a specific password for a member’s account from the admin interface by editing the member profile. So you can set a simple password for a member who has forgotten his password. The user can then change it from the edit profile page (after they log into the site).
