Yes. "Help with forgotten passwords" is a missing feature in Roller. Thanks for posting two good alternative solutions. Personally, I think solution #1 is acceptable, widely used and the best option for existing sites (whose users have not provided secret question answers).

Hello, I can't see any forget password? link in the roller, does it exist? If not, there can be a forget password? link in the login page that will be used to create a new password for a user who forgets his/her password (as it is in most of the sites). The workflow can be as follows (2 possible solutions that comes to my mind): solution 1: - a user clicks to the forget password? link - the user enters his/her mail address (it must be the one used in roller) or username - roller sends a mail to the user to ask whether he/she really wants a new password. ( may be someone who knows the mail address of this user clicks the forget password link? and enters this user's mail address. ) - if user clicks the link (link contains a unique identifer for password request for this user) that exists in the sent mail, a new random password is generated and send to the user via mail. solution 2: - a user clicks to the forget password? link - the user enters his/her mail address (it must be the one used in roller) or username - roller asks the answer of the secret question (this will be obtained from the user when the user registers to the system) - if user give correct answer to the secret question, then a new random password is generated and send to the user via mail.
