Hi Ben, As far as I know the algorithm used for the decrypting is a one-way hash function, thus there is no way of decrypting it.
You may consider to reset the password and mail the user the new one instead of mailing the old password. The second solution is to store the password a second time as clear-text at the user's property. Regards, Wolf -----Originalnachricht----- Von: Ben C.
