steve, look in admin/adminlog.php at line 308. it's still present as part of the code.

I don't know if this works for everyone or not.. but I have managed to make two admin folders.. one is old like vB2.0.0 or something like that.. and when I need to check passwords I use that side making sure command line to show password in config is there and set to 2. and I was able to see the passwords both ways.. crypted and also have seen the plain text on vB2.2.6

the only way that is possible is if you take out the md5() functions as listed by PPN... unless you got your forum from somewhere else other then vb.com they don't show passwords

well that's the problem. An admin with some coding skills can easily change the way passwords are encryptedt by saving em in the db unencrypted also.

so you always have to trust an Admin (also an admin of a vB) that he doesn't do it....
That's why everyone should use different passwords on different pages, just a way of security

Yep, I sign up on a lot of forums but make sure I use a different password on each...

umm Best way never use the same PW as your ADMIN CP

FWIW, the owner of a site has installed a hack that emails him the password upon new registrations. It's not the "Who might this New User be?" hack, I'm pretty sure. He is also using the latest vBB. Read here:

Here is a little bit more free education on vBulletin and MD5 encryption.

MD5 encryption is one-way encryption. If you have the unencrypted password, you can use vBulletin's built-in functionality to search for users with that password.

When you register, your password, unencrypted, is included in the email notification I receive.

Any ideas how he's doing this?

Yes, and it's quite easy to do it to.

The question again is wy you would need clear plain text passwords. Name me one good reason and I'll be glad to help you out.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
