Most forums now use 1 way encryption of passwords, this means that passwords can not be recovered once set, so passwords can not be resent.]]> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 10:43:44 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-problems_topic19126_post103725.html#103725 <![CDATA[email problems : Most forums send the current password...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-problems_topic19126_post103668.html#103668 Author: megetron

Most forums send the current password to the user's email, and do not changing the password.

If password will be just resend to user, than, there is no problem, and hackers will not be able do terror on the forums.

Most forums only require entering the username or the e-mail, not both.  So actually, WWF requires someone to know more information to reset the password than other forums.

Then I suggest that you don't make your email address public (not just for this but because of spam) or use a different email address that is not public.

The forum has a built in email client so you never need show your email within the forum.

There is a serious problem with emails.

I configured email, and used the "Remind me password".
There, you need to insert username and email, and the forum changed the password ans send ir to the email.
 
this is creating a security problem since anyone can reset my password because my email is public.
I hope this is a known issue.
