| wattscj | Subject: Admin User Creation doesn't send password |  |
| I've been working with Atutor since v1.4 but with the latest update to 1.6.1 (not 1.6.2 yet) the emails that are sent when the Admin creates a user sends everything it is supposed to except for the password. I move the line in create_user.php (in the admin folder) that says $body .= _AT('password') .' : '.$_POST['password'] . "\n"; and took off the $body = and moved to the body statement above it. When I did that it does display the password but it is in the encrypted form (the hex SHA1 form) how can I remedy this problem. Here is the message I recieve in my email. Welcome to the [site name] class. The purpose of this message is to notify you that a user account has been created for you. To access your account, please log into the site by clicking the weblink below. You can find your username and password for your account at the bottom of this message. It is strongly suggested you change your password upon logging in. You will receive another welcome message from your [company name] LSS Academic Advisor/Coach providing you with instructions on how to use the SRC and join the Live online classes. If you have any questions or problems logging into your account, please email me at *********, or give me a call at (***) ***-****. Thanks and we'll see you soon! Web Site : http://************** Login Name : ***** ---------------------------------------------- Sent via an ATutor system at http://************ ATutor home: atutor.ca I've removed the personal information including the site title (replaced with [site title]) and company name (replaced with [company name]). As you can see I have customized the message sent but in the older version 1.5.5 i believe was the one I used before updateing, it sent the password with out a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| I'm using Atutor version 1.6.2 and i have uncommented the line to display the password in create_user.php but it is still displaying the password as encrypted. Has this been fixed in a newwer version if so what code can i use to display the un-encrypted password? Posted: 2011-01-11 00:03:43 | ||

That's just some left over code you uncommented. It won't work. It is no longer possible to send passwords by email for security reasons. Password have to be reset by following an encrypted link.

| Hi Greg, Thanks for the quick reply. It seems a little unituitive to me that an administator can create an account for a user, set their username and password but then the automatic email sent to notify the user that an account has been created for them that includes their username but doesn not include their password. Wouldn't it make sense to have a onetime login link or something? I understand that i'm using an old version of Atutor so if this issue has been overcome in a newwer version please let me know.
