RE: [PHP-DB] anyway to get password if encrypted by PASSWORD() ? From: John W. Holmes (john <email protected>)

I keep a 'pw_changed' column in my database that you can set to zero, and
then force them to change the password. once they do, then they are good to
go.

To my knowledge it is a 1 way encryption... what i would do in that case is
reset the password to a randomly selected password... give them the new
generated password and strongly recomend they change it.

if i want to make a 'forgot my password' thing, how would i be able to
retrieve their password if i have it encrypted in a table using the
PASSWORD() function?

Thanks! - Noah
