[opencms-dev] About send password for user forgot

[a.westermann at alkacon.com]

Hi Deiverson,

you won't be lucky with sending a forgotten password to users in 
OpenCms. Passwords are stored encrypted and cannot be decrypted. On the 
other hand this isn't too bad for security. No one who hijacked your 
email account could get access to OpenCms or the website run by OpenCms.
You could implement a reset password function by using a module action 
class for your module that stores an Admin CmsObject in a singleton and 
then do the operations to create a new password with that CmsObject.

Kind Regards,
Achim.
