My dnn site is running DNN version 4.8.4.  When users request their password, the password reminder email is showing "*******" instead of the actual password.  How can the actual password be displayed on the email?  Here's a sample email body:

 

Dear John Doe,

 

You have requested a Password Reminder from ZZZ Community.

 

Please login using the following information:

 

Portal Website Address: www.zzz.org

Password: *******

 

Sincerely,

ZZZ Community

 

*Note: If you did not request a Password Reminder, please disregard this Message.

Typically this is for admin/host users where their passwords are NOT sent via e-mail for security.

Wasn't this also changed for AD users?  I'll have to test it.  I know it was one of the major security concerns a year or two ago where the password for a Domain account could be obtained simply by clicking on the forgot password button.
