Can an admin see user passwords in plain text?

Thanks in advance.

No, all passwords are stored in the database in MD5 format which cannot be decrypted.

It's also good to state that storing passwords in plain text could be a security issue (in several ways), encoding in MD5 is at least better than leaving it as plain text.

hmmmm... care to make a wager on that Rick

LOL - Okay, in general it is safe, but not uncrackable.

.

MD5 cannot be decrypted, however the hash can be compared against a hash database; which is why I recommend using a dual salt when MD5'ing anything :nods:

Well actually I'd have to find the link but just about 2 monts ago I was reading where it can and was, but for now since I don't have the link I'll stand down on it

But if I find the link I'll be back to say so.

Regardless, just a matter of time.

I'd love to see it, I've not heard of anyway to decrypt an MD5 hash, I know it's not secure if unsalted as there are tons of hash comparison sites, but it goes a long way...
