Reset password

[amit]

Good day,

The amount of users (2000+) is growing and I am looking for a way for users to recover their password themselves if they forget it. How could something like this be implemented?

Hi,

Here's a link to a short tutorial that shows how to implement such a feature (PHP)

http://thisinterestsme.com/php-reset-password-form/

Basically, the following steps are involved:

1. Create a new table to store the token information
2. Create forgot.php and reset.php files
3. Add a "forgot password" link to your login page
4. When the user clicks on this ‘forgot my password’ link and is prompted to enter his/her email address.
5. If the email address exists in the nuBuilder DB, an email is sent with a unique link.
6. Then the user is prompted to enter a new password

Thank you Tom. My PHP skills are not so good. Let's see if I can do that (actually this should be a standard feature of a crm, shouldn't it?)
