Hello Does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows users to receive an email with their Password details should they happen to forget their login details ? The plugin should support the concept of a secret question so that the password details are only emailed To the user if they correctly input the answer. Looking forward to your assistance. Thanks and regards Farai |

The typical approach is to have a secondary email address where it is sent (careful of abuse if you are implementing this - THINK carefully about HOW you implement it). Another approach is to have a web form where the user resets their password, and no email interaction is required. |

There is no (publicly available) plugin to do this, because of the same reasons listed here: http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/AddingAccounts Some of the commercial support companies might have a system for this. |
