Hello Guys!

I need to add a "I forgot my password" feature at mystandart DW login form.

What I want this feature to do is to do something that helps user to remember his password -

1) email the password to the user if such exists, or

2) send a link where to set new password, or

3) email new generated password, whatever is easyer.

I feel like option#1 is what is actually is used in most DW solutions, or in one way or another is mostly used where password is not hashed.

 

But anyone has any suggestions, tips, examples about this one?

 

Kind regards,

Dmitrij

Hej Nicolai,

Thanks for usefull link. But the self approach how to solve it technically - is not the issue.

I just wanted to make a small research if this function was ever covered somewhere or somehow in DW before.

Was hoping to get a usefull DW documentation tips. Or links, maybe someone discussed it in a blog post some time ago...

And from you answer I can clearly see that this feature was obviously not covered in DW, and I am on my own. That is all I wanted to know...

 

Thanks again for info!

Dmitrij

Hello again Nicolai,

Than thanks again for yet another good resource share! :-) really liked Imars article!

For big and advanced solutions we will use our custom login forms, that would includ secure password change protocol.

But at the same time I played around with this template "Extranet/Login_uk_password.html". And all is pretty much straight forward, only thing is I can't quite find the Form mail template for this form? It's not in "Formmailer" folder.

 

Regards,

Dmitrij

Hi Dmitrij

 

You can create a hidden field in the forgotpassword form with the name ForgotPasswordMailTemplate.

 

Give it a value of a template file ("ForgotPasswordMail.html") and place the template in /Templates/Extranet/ folder.
