Need of Password Reminder!! Please!
Hi everybody!
I recently (since 12/2007) imported to vb my smf forum... and of course many users lost their password, and some of them (through the email>lost password procedure) re-logged to the forum..but..the majority of the users DID NOT come back. I learned recently (by reading in this forum) that impex adds something like ..salt, in the passwords, and so maybe there is a password of these members not acknowledged by them. So, is there a way that it will be mass emailed to them that password, something like a password reminder, not a password reseter??? Any help or answer will be appreciated. George Sambalis |

No, passwords were probably not copied over during the Impex conversion and if they were they would have undergone one-way encryption. There is no way to mail the users their password in plain text. (At least from a vBulletin installation)

Passwords cannot be retrieved. They must be reset to be in use with vBulletin's encryption method. Inside of the ACP, you can do a mass e-mail by doing this: ACP -> Users -> Mass E-mail Members. Remind them to reset their password and link them to the lost password page.

Thank you all for your answers!

The basic reason for this is the complexity of that procedure, as seen in many replies I had from members thath couldnot complete this.!! So if there is no solution, maybe it would be helpful a "password generator" :up: for members that either lost their passwords, or forgot, or were reset at any reason (including impex)!!! |

That's what the Lost Password page is for...
