Viewing passwords in 2.2.5?

[traekwon]

Hi, we upgraded to VB 2.2.5, and now we can't view passwords when looking at a user through the control panel... we have set the config.php to "Can be viewed and edited (#2)" yet, we still just see a blank input box that says 'type in something new to change password, or else stay blank to not change it' or something like that.

What should we do?

since version 2, passwords are saved encrypted in the database with md5 algorithm.

they cannot be decrypted anymore, so you cannot see the userpws.

There is a hack that will decrypt them for you though.

md5 is a hash, it is not decryptable. it will NEVER be decryptable.

There is ABSOLUTLY NO WAY that you can see the password.

Marshalus, there is no hack which decrypts md5 pws, theres just a hack, which saved the pwds unencrypted in the DB
