Password Reset/Recovery System

  • hello again Tom,

    I ask you now, if your plug-in interacts with the wordpress password recovery system.

    That is, if a user on the external database does not remember the password, can he retrieve it from the worpdress system?

    Or doesn’t the plug-in provide this option?

    Alternatively, how / where can I create a hook, to do that if the user exists in the external database, he does not remember the password, he does recover password with wordpress, the plug-in, save the user in the wordpress db, with a causal password, and the user automatically receives the email to reset the password.

    it’s possible?

    Thanks again for your attention and assistance
    regards

    Hi @matrixmedia,

    Apologies for the long delay in getting back to you.

    This is a great question. The plugin does not support password recovery at the moment but I can definitely add this to my list of requested features for the future. Won’t be added any time soon I’m afraid though.

    I would welcome you to add this feature to the plugin?
    The hook that would be used is here:
    https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/hooks/password_reset/

    The new password would be saved with a DB query to the external database at this point.

    If you did want to add this feature to the plugin you could make a pull request here:

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Hi,

    did you @matrixmedia manage to implement the password recovery system with the external database?

    If not, did you find a solution for it?

    Best wishes

    Hey @puupak,

    I see your interested in this feature too.

    Still not the top priority but I’ve bumped it up the list as more interest is now apparent.

    @matrixmedia, let us know if you have done any development yourself on this ??

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Hi,

    I think your plugin is great. I just want to clarify, if a user on from an external database preforms the reset (not recovery) of their password using the WP reset screes currently where is that reset password stored – on the external database or does WP write it on it’s own database?

    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Reset only uses the local WordPress database. Data does NOT get written back to the external database.

    You could use a hook to make this happen if you needed to in your case.

    Hope this helps ??
