Using DNN 7.2.2 is it possible to have the old password recovery functionality rather than the new password reset link?

How?

(I had thought that setting  enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="false" would have done the trick but that seems not to be the case.

Joseph,

it is much more secure to have the password reset instead of sending passwords in clear text over the internet via email.

Anyway: your way should be correct, as when you change the setting in the web.config file, the value displayed in Site Settings :: User Account Settings is changed as well. Most propably you have left the passwordFormat="Hashed" attribute in the web.config file, therefore no "undecoding" of the password is possible, you should use "Encrypted" (or maybe vice versa). But if you change this, I fear that all the passwords for the users that registered since do not work anymore.

Best wishes
Michael

MIchael,

Thank you for your comments. I understand, and welcome the password reset link. However, I was asking the question on behalf of someone who doesn't want to do that.

More to the point, my way doesn't work, and I am using encrypted passwords. When I set the parameters as mentioned in my post, I get a message: Password retrieval is disabled on this site.

Is this a bug?

Joseph,

I don't think so - maybe it has to do with the password format setting, but I don't have too much experience with that yet. There are some (closed) issues on the tracking system (search for "password retrieval" and "password reset") that explain the (intended) behaviour in the comments (a bit, at least).

Best wishes
Michael

We set the default for passwords to be hashed in 7.1.0 (see http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/page/...) - if your site is using hashed then you cannot retrieve passwords.

If you are using an old install that is using encrypted passwords, you can (in theory) go in and edit

EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY and EMAIL_USER_REGISTRATION_PUBLIC_BODY text and edit it to no longer use the new PasswordResetToken value e.g.

Link to reset password: http://[Portal:URL]/default.aspx?ctl=...]

but instead to use the "old" password token e.g.

Your password is [Membership:Password]

Note: in general we don't recommend for the reasons covered in the wiki
