Survey to see who would like an automated password reset option

Just reply yes or no in this thread. Thanks!

How would an automated password reset button work?

What are you asking?

Are you talking to the me or the op, Mario?

Talk to Admin-BenJamin.

Automated password usually works like this: if a user forgets his/her password, they can click a reset button. The reset option erases the existing password, generates a random one and sends it to the email on file for that user. They may then log in and change to whatever they like. No human intervention necessary.

I believe Forumotion already has that.

not that I could find. the password I wrote down when I created my forum doesn't work so i had to go thru PM and am awaiting a reply.

We already have this. If you didn't turn the option to prevent password resets then you wouldn't have a problem. Most or all companies will have someone changing passwords and emails if the password reset tool doesn't work. I normally reset passwords twice or do them all at night. I get more password resets request at night then the day.

I didn't turn anything on. I've never been able to log in.

Why don't you send me a PM right now and I'll reset the password?

got it, thanks. BTW is the allow reset option off by default? how do i turn it on?
