Customers can't use "Forgotten password"!

Hi
I really need some serious help. I just recieved an email from a customer who had tried out the "lost passford" function but without recieving a new one. I checked the attached email the customer had recieved from my store and hell, there was no new password in there.

I tried to reset two of my "testing accounts", but with the same result. One of the accounts is using Gmail, another one Hotmail. I've tried both text and HTML.

Here's what I get in the e-mail.

A new password was requested from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [the IP] . Your new password to [MY STORE] is: After you have logged in using the new password, you may change it by going to the 'My Account' area."

I'm using the swedish language pack, but it translates as above. There is nothing after "... new password to [the store name] is:".

I've installed the Master Password Encrypted addon and can login to the two testing accounts using my admin password, but I cannot change the customer password using the same. The red error square pops up stating "the password doesn't corresponds to the password in our database" (roughly translated).

Is this a issue regaring the translation pack? I've checked the forgotten_password.php under /english/ and /swedish/ respectively, and they match up:

define('EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY', 'A new password was requested from ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . '.' . "\n\n" . 'Your new password to '' . STORE_NAME . '' is:' . "\n\n" . ' %s' . "\n\nAfter you have logged in using the new password, you may change it by going to the 'My Account' area.");
define('EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY', 'Ett nytt lösenord har begärts från ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . '.' . "\n\n" . 'Ditt nya lösenord för '' . STORE_NAME . '' är:' . "\n\n" . ' %s' . "\n\nEfter du har loggat in med ditt nya lösenord, kan du ändra det genom att gå till 'Mitt konto' området.");

Now I cannot even log into my testing accounts using the orignal passwords because I've tried reseting them.

MAJOR HELP WANTED!

Steven300:

What do you have set for:
Admin -> Config -> Minimum Values -> Password

0

Should it be somehing else? I just changed it to 3 and tried again with no result. I can log in using the master password, but not change the customer pass from the customer profile.

Re: Customers can't use "Forgotten password"!

Set to 0, the Password will come back as blank ...

Set to 5, the Password will be built 5 characters/numbers ...

Try this and see if it will fix this issue ... :smile:

I just tried 3 on the Minimum value for the Password and it works as well ... are you using v1.3.8? :unsure:

Re: Customers can't use "Forgotten password"!

Hi,
I found this as a still problem on my site.
After system is sending back a new password to my customer a message is again like that :"There was a security error when trying to login."
I did what you told so in:

  • Admin -> Config -> Minimum Values -> Password I have setup to 5

And also
Every new account (testing account) I created wont let me logon again when logout from session. So every single new costumer at the moment can shoping just once... Coming back costumers must open new account because password send to them from password reminder wont let them logon.

I hope this is easy to fix just don't know how..

Please any advice

Regards
Greg
