is this possible??
 

vieiwing user passwords????

is this possible???

i know i can access them from the Database but can someone create me a form within admin CP to find by username then generate there password???

No.

fair enough answer.. :p

Well, it just isn't sanely possible. Search and ye shall find. :)

i thought they were encripted?? and 1 way too??

Not encrypted. Hashed, which means the only way to "unhash" them is via a brute force attack which can literally take years for some longer passwords.

filburt is right., the passwords are encrypt via md5 hash .. one way encryption, therefor it can't be reversed and i think it will take a decade to even try to decrypt it.

A decade is slightly extreme (unless the user has a password with 40+ characters in it)

Atleast a month or longer for a standard password

It is not encryption! It is a hashing algorithm! Big difference. :)

(I know Stefan or Chen has the same pet peeve ;))

yeah, but i can't pronounce that word filburt ;)

assassingod, honeslty, it would take years even for the average 6 - 8 digit password. i read that somewhere at the php.net site.
