Using Encrypted Master Password to change cust passwords?

[Bunster]

Hi All,
I have installed the Encrypted Master Password v1.1 mod for Zen v1.37 and I can log in to customers account ok with it.

I have read on other posts that you can change the customer password but when I try to do this I get a message saying the original password is not the same as the one in the system.
If I knew the original password I wouldn't need to change it

Have I missed something that I need to hack?

any advice welcome

It doesn't seem to be possible with this mod. This is a big pain in the neck when customers need their password reset by us. The quickest way for me (but not the easiest) is to have a dummy account set up where you know the password. I then copy and past the encrpted password via phpMyadmin. Now I KNOW the new password. I then log into their account and reset the password. The whole fiasco takes 5 minutes minimum. I wish there was an easier way . . . . .

Hi,

To allow you to use the Admin Password to change a customer's password once you have logged in as them using the Encrypted Master Password mod you'll need to do the following....

1. You have to change includes\modules\pages\account_password\header_php.php so make a back up of it first. Overrides do not work with it so you'll have to change the core code.
2. Open up includes\modules\pages\account_password\header_php.php and at about line 50 you will see...

if (zen_validate_password($password_current, $check_customer->fields['customers_password'])) { 

3. Change it to read....

// *** start Encrypted Master Password  ***
$get_admin_query = "SELECT admin_id, admin_pass
                    FROM " . TABLE_ADMIN . "
                    WHERE admin_id = '1' ";
$check_administrator = $db->Execute($get_admin_query);
    
if (zen_validate_password($password_current, $check_customer->fields['customers_password']) ||
    zen_validate_password($password_current, $check_administrator->fields['admin_pass'])) { 

4. Upload the changed file to your website.

Once logged in as the customer you should now be able to change the password using the admin password as the current password.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Christian.

Woody,

Where have you read this?

This is possible if you use my module.

Woody, This is possible if you use my module.

Ahhhhhh... I have been using your excellent module Andrew ;-) But I did not know I could change customers password while logged into their account with the master password. I've been always doing this via phpmyadmin ;-). Thanks for the notice!

Thanks for much for the help with the Encrypted Master Password. I installed the mod and then updated so it would let me change the customer password and it all worked just like you said. (I even backed up everything in case I messed up and didn't need it!)

You guys are awesome.
