Description

So, in case someone hasn’t reported it yet; the “I forgot my password” functionality doesn’t work in 1.9.0.

It sends the email fine; but the password included in the email does not work.

Before I start going through the code can anyone explain how the passwords work?

So far I get:

- that the “hash” field is md5(“username” + “password”)
- when I do the “forgot pw” thing it sets the “provpass” field with the pw sent in the email
- md5 of user+provpass though does NOT equal “hash”

I suspect code would be something like:

- if user logs in and there is a provpass set then validate against that password
- and then foprce user to change pass
- then use their new entered pass to make hash and delete provpass

Does this seem about right???

Solution

my bad...

after upgrading from 1.9rc3 to 1.9.0 i also copied over my custom templates - one of those was for the password reminder mail template which didnt have the new link back function which needs to be selected before new password is enabled.
