Forgot password function sending scrambled password to user
« on: January 07, 2003, 06:38:44 PM »
I think it worked before but now it doesn't.  Clicking on forgot password sends a scrambled password to user instead of the correct one.

Duh, what could I have done to the code or database to cause this?

Intentional?

I think that's by design and for security reasons.  The scrambled password is a new, 4images created password that allows the user to login again.  Once logged in, the user can always change the password back to the old value.

Thank you.  I didn't even try it.  Just thought it didn't work! Now if you could only help with another php problem (unrelated to 4images)! :lol:
