Turn off password

[scottb]

I wish to turn off the need for a password to be entered to log in.

I have a specific need for this on one site. There is no payment information being sent or saved.

How do I turn off the password requirement?

Thanks,

Scott

Um .... the password also protects the customer's personal information.

I just imported 1,281 customers from a Miva database. I have no passwords for them.

If you simply want to allow customers to log in using their blank password, you could start by altering the password_funcs.php function file:

  function zen_validate_password($plain, $encrypted) {
    if (zen_not_null($plain) && zen_not_null($encrypted)) {
// split apart the hash / salt
      $stack = explode(':', $encrypted);

      if (sizeof($stack) != 2) return false;

      if (md5($stack[1] . $plain) == $stack[0]) {
        return true;
      }
    } elseif ($plain =='' && $encrypted == '') {
      return true;
    }

    return false;
  }

I was able to get the passwords.

Thanks for your help.

I have another site that the owner does not want a password. He only wants the email for login.

Changing the code to this did not work

 function zen_validate_password($plain, $encrypted) {
    if (zen_not_null($plain) && zen_not_null($encrypted)) {
// split apart the hash / salt
      $stack = explode(':', $encrypted);

      if (sizeof($stack) != 2) return false;

      if (md5($stack[1] . $plain) == $stack[0]) {
        return true;
      }
    } elseif ($plain =='' && $encrypted == '') {
      return true;
    }

    return false;
  }

they plan on storing users information based on a single login credential ( a public one at that )

you did explain how they are setting themselves up right?

Yes I did.
