Anyway, what you want is not possible as the password is only stored as a hash (1-way encryption). The unencrypted password is not stored anywhere, or even ever sent to the server.

OK, well this is pretty darn stupid. On every site I am a member if I forget my password then it is simply resent to the registered email address. It is very strange that this is not the case with vbulletin.

The current logic of resetting the password sends the user through all sorts of hoops that could be avoided with a simple resend of their stored one. Perhaps there is a mod to store them in another way rather than the way you have described.

To have to be resent a temp one, then cut and past it, then login with it, then update it in the usercp to the one they want, only to perhaps forget it again in the future and have to do the whole thing again is ridiculous.

Can someone help with a mod to make this do what the link says - resend the forgotten password (not reset it)?
