Hi,
I am trying Mysql Password() function, to encrypt password in a a user/password table, it works fine both ways; it is to say, when I submit a login (user/password) combination it fetches the pair ok. My question is, as I read in the documentation, that the process is irreversible, how can I deal with the fact that a user can forget his password, if I will not be able to retrieve the original string, because what i can see is the encrypted data is there a workaround to deal with this, either than storing in a separeted table the original password string (not encrypted), or shall i simply not use this function ? thanks in advance to any suggestion Walter --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
