Hello,

It’s not too secure to send passwords via e-mail. That’s why WordPress uses reset password technique. Why do not use this feature?
User inputs his email after click on the ‘reset password’ link at login page (wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) and gets by email a special protected link to a page, where he can input his new password.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply
Just a question :

using this code :

$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

when i send an email :

$message .= sprintf(__(‘Password: %s’), $user_info->user_pass) . “\r\n”;

The emailed password is not in plain text but in this format : $P$BACj802h.27StS.k.bvccXpbGl3mVT0

Do you know how to send the plain text password ?

Thank you

WordPress does not store user password at the database. It stores just a password hash value. So it’s not possible to get user password in its original not encrypted form from the database. You should catch a password value earlier, when you change it.
