Associate Email With Password

[qoitecover]

HI,Everyone!

Maybe I post a wrong place,please forgive a new fresher.

I want to implement a function:Users can get their password back by input their

Emails before they log in the Alfresco/share.

I think this would be a big project,but I want to know how to get through it or just

how to start my struggle?

In fact,I do not know what does the Email of each user work for Yet…

Best Regards.

Hi,

For Alfresco 3 and 4 the following existed:
https://addons.alfresco.com/addons/reset-password-dialog

For Alfresco 5, maybe have a look at:
https://github.com/teqnology/alfresco-login-reset
I've never used it or looked at the code though. Just saw it existed.

As a side note, your initial request was to send back their password to the user. That would cause serious security problem as it would mean that the passwords are stored in plain text.
These addons will instead provide a new password to the user
