[rt-users] Building Upon the Concept from AutogeneratedPassword (fwd)

Hi Steven, All

New to RT software, but was thinking on this scenario:

- User A logs into RT
- User A is really busy changing tickets
- User B requests a password change using User A's email

Will the system prompt User A in the next submit he makes?

Regards,

-Urivan Flores Saaib

Hi jd,

We've recently implemented a PHP driven password reminder system for our
self-service users. They enter an e-mail address which is checked
against
the DB (we use postgres8). Valid addresses get login details e-mailed
back
out to the supplied address.

AFAIK it's not possible to easily backtrack from an MD5 encrypted
string, so
our system involves resetting the password to a standard pattern within
the
system. Resetting the password seems to be the best way, but I'm
prepared
(and expecting) to be corrected.
