[Solved] Send an e-mail to all users with login and current password

Hi,

Is it possible to send an e-mail to all the users of a modx revolution site containing the login and current password in clear ?

Thanks,

Hi subran,

I don't think this is possible, since the password is only stored encrypted in the database.
You would have to change the password and send the new one to your Users.

Even if it could be done, it would compromise the security quite a bit. The passwords would pass through a lot of servers before they reached the users. They could be read by anyone with access to those servers.

I wouldn't consider it unless you forced the users to change the password the next time they log in (unless you don't really need security for the site).

Ok, I understand it.

I have to see how to implement password recovery and change of their profile.

Btw. is it possible to force a password with minimum a capital letter and minimum 1 number?
I found how to force 6 caracters but nothing more.

Thanks for your help,

In the Manager or the front end? I not sure there's a good way to do it in the Manager without hacking the core code. You might be able to check in a plugin attached to OnBeforeUserFormSave, with some JavaScript that would pop up with a warning, then redirect to the profile page.
