Re: When Client forgot their password

What you suggest would be insecure. The password that they set up will be one that they like and so would probably keep. But sending it through email exposes it to anybody watching, not just for your site, but for every other one where they use it.

It's better to send a random password and encourage them to change it to what they want in a secure environment (i.e. under the protection of SSL).

However, this is largely irrelevant, since the form of encryption used by Zen Cart is MD5 + salt, so it's one way and virtually unbreakable. Once a customer has entered their password, there is no practical way to find out what it was.
