Hi everyone,

It has just came to my attention that when a user requests a password reminder form Product Cart the password is sent to the customer via email unhashed.

Does anyone know of a way to change this?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Hi Craig,

The Reset/Forgot Password methodology is being rewritten in ProductCart v5.2 (ETA Q3) to use a "one-way" approach that will send a message to the account-holder's e-mail address which contains a link and instructions for changing or resetting their password.
