Hi,
in my code I am trying to send an email (containing a password) to a user when he has forgotten his password.
The problem is that security leads to needing to encrypt passwords in the database. Im using the password function within mysql. Is there any way of reversing the password function() to get the original password to send out to the user?
Or are there any other suggestions in PHP to reverse encryption of passwords. I do understand the principles of encryption and can see the point of unreversible functions but Im sure that not all applications re-set passwords with random generated ones but do send out forgotten passwords.
Cheers
B
