get current password (3 posts)

    I don't like the "reset password" functionality. I would prefer to just send the user his/her current password.

    I know it's less secure, but from a user's perspective, it's a lot easier.

    Can somebody tell me what to do or where to look to figure out how to do this?

    Thanks,
    Laura S.

    Hi Laura,

    Did you ever find a solution to this?

    Well, sort of ... although I'm just piecing it together from memory at this point. I'm using "Register Plus" plugin. When you go into Settings > Register Plus, scroll down to "Custom User Email Notification" and check "Enable". You get a bunch of new form fields. I think that the default response from the admin to the new user includes the password, which I believe is something like %password%. I never ended up using it because users got upset that their passwords were being emailed to them, so I took it out. So I'm not even 100% sure that it was there, or that that's what it said ... but at this point I think that's the best I can do. Hope it helps!

    Laura S.
