Discussion

As MoinMoin does not store the plaintext password, it's probably best not to mail the user their password, just their login URL.

This is no bug, but the best (and only thing) we can do there. Login URLs (and auth cookies) are deprecated since long (they currently still work, but will be removed in 1.4). So sending an encrypted (but nevertheless WORKING) password string is the best thing we can do. -- ThomasWaldmann 2005-03-16 16:02:39
