would be nice to have a link on the login page where a user who for got his/her login details can have them send to their email account.

I second that motion - it seems like the code for this could easily be taken from one of the hundreds of other apps that already have this function, right?

All passwords are MD5 hashed, it's not possible to retrieve them. A "change password" thing would be possible, however- and no, you can't just copy code from another software package.

Thanks pappnase. intereststing.

the point of mysuggestion was however to make it more comfortable for users and make it possible to deal with a forgtoon password right there and then themselves.
The site I deal with has quite a few editors, therefore it would be nice.
