Password Recovery System

[TCH-Thomas]

I have set up a subdomain for a site and some email adresses for people who are "allowed" to use this subdomain.

 

I used the webprotect to password it and then created emailadresses name@blah.domain.se

 

To get in to both subdomain and email they use same password but individual for each person.

 

Is there some way i can create a password recovery for them?

 

If i had used same password for everything i could have made a autoresponder at password@domain.se but since its individual login names and pw i figure i cant?

 

And yep, i know its spelled recovery even if topic says something else. Can i change that some way?

I'm not sure.. Someone will get in here that will have a solution for you, hang tight.

The only time I have ever designed something like this, it was based on 64-bit encryption in a database and operated on an asp site. The user info was stored in a FoxPro Db and the asp code just validated against a secret question and date, then would generate and email the info to the email addy listed in the Db.

I can tell you, it was not easy to deal with the encryption part of it. I had issues where the email would have the encrypted PW sent instead of the decrypted one. Imagine the looks folks would have when a 6 character PW came back as nearly 40 characters. Thank Goodness that I tested it extensively before launching.

I cannot think of any prebuilt tools for this function, but someone might know of one.

Thanks for trying though, Glenn.

I just think i should tell them not to loose their passwords.

you can get an encrypt/decrypt software and have them encrypt the PW and send to you for safe keeping... then they could decrypt on their local machine when you have to send it back to them.

Could be an idea. I will take a look on it.
