Kirbyrocket's suggestion: Display password in plain text back at a user via email

[hakusaro]

Do you think email confirmation, password confirmation, or at least a message telling you your password after you register could be added (if isn't done already)? I gave birth to this idea when I saw users struggling to register with the same password that they thought they put in.

My two cents: this is easy to just drop in as a minor tweak/config option to echo the password back after registration. [Definitely not email though]. Echoing the password back is easy, emailing is bad/dangerous/a worst practice.

Don't we echo back the password upon registration already?

Yeah, this issue should be closed

[ivanbiljan]

Thanks @DaBomberNTG. Since this complies with the original idea, it should be closed as @Simon311 previously said. Cc @nicatronTg

@ProfessorXz you're right I'm an idiot
cc @Patrikkk you're also right I'm an idiot

[hakusaro]

@ProfessorXz @Simon311 @DaBomberNTG @Patrikkk please discuss this issue in the context of sending an email notification now not echoing back

[Simon311]

@nicatronTg As you said, this is a bad practice. Besides, Marcus already made a plugin for resetting password via e-mail, which should resolve the issue.

[hakusaro]

@Simon311 did maru update it to the latest api / does it work in the latest api with -ignoreversion?

[Simon311]

@nicatronTg no idea

[hakusaro]

@Simon311 ok

[DaBomberNTG]

Plugin is on latest api & initializes, if that is still relevant.

[hakusaro]

@DaBomberNTG neat

[Plaintext via email is not a best practice and a plugin accomplishes 99% of the goal easily]
