Hi,

I am using SHAManaged to generate a Hash value for my user passwords and
storing them in a database in this encrypted format. My question is, if one
of my users forgets thier password is there a way to un-encrypt the password
as stored in the database so as to retrieve the user password in raw text
format.

Thanks in advance
Neil
 
Hi Heil,

Hash algorithms are one way functions, so you can calculate the hash from a
value, but not the value from the hash (or it's so hard to do). in this
cases, you can use a new password generation mechanism. if the user forgets
it, you define a new one for him.

wish it helps.

cheers,
