Hi,

I can't imagine <b>any</b> case where someone else than the user himself should know the password.

By the way: the password is encrypted/hashed in the database - so there is no way to look at it. You'd need to change the user account datatype first - saving the password (additionally) in plain text. Later you can override / extend other templates (in the admin or normal site) to show this.

But at all - I wouldn't do that!

Have a nice day

Thomas

Ok,

thank you.

The reason being is that we're migrating their oldiste to a ezPublish site and it seems in their old system they are able to view users passwords.

Any how thankyou for your help.

Fabricio.

You can let eZ store the passwords in plain text by altering or adding these settings in <i>settings/override/site.ini.append</i>:

[UserSettings]
HashType=plaintext
