A long password is stronger than a ‘complex’ password. To give you an example, password that is ‘C0mp!ex’ would take a computer about seven minutes to crack. While a password that is ‘complex password’ would take a computer about 224 million years to crack. As a security professional, I would recommend you have your users pick passwords that are longer vs more complex. As soon as you force them to use complex password and conform to some set of rules, you run a very good chance of them writing it down or recording it someplace. This voids all attempts at security.

Cheers!

Yep, works great with only one search field so it only breaks with multiple search fields.

I would think that using the form on the backend would not be an efficient way of doing any kind of regular user setup. Why not create an actual front end registration form but not link that anywhere. Make it a page that you would have to know the address to get to specifically. That way FEU would work as intended and it would still meet the objective of not allowing the dealers to register themselves. Just a thought, hope it helps ??

I respectfully ask that the plugin not send passwords through email. Email is plain text and such can be viewed by anyone sniffing. Emailing passwords is not a good security practice. Also, being able to lookup passwords in general is bad security practice. It is much better to use the password reset feature. As a network/security professional I’m requesting that this not be an option.

@mark737 I have done many mods to the php code in my setup. This is something that isn’t officially supported so I would also advise making a copy of the file before you begin and copy it to a different directory. Be careful because there are many things that are cross linked but it should be possible. Also you should know that any time you do a future plugin update through the GUI, that will overwrite any changes you made and any other files created. All updates will need to be done manually.

My apologies for the long delay getting back to this.

I did finally find that there was another plugin that was conflicting with this. The “Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere” plugin will cause problems here with one setting. In Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere there is an option for enabling shortcodes “In Post/Page Custom Fields” and I believe this is checked by default. Unchecking this option will fix the problem.

@katiehmbl check the version you are running and make sure it is v3.1.2, this is the version that emails are fixed. If that is your version, could you post how you are using the shortcodes? I would suspect that it is something there causing what you are seeing.

No problem. I’ll send that via email.

v3.1.1 is sending emails but still a few bugs. Stay tuned…

@katiehmbl check and see which version you are running. There is a few bugs in both v3.1.0 and 3.1.1. Both of the things you mentioned I’m also seeing similar bugs.
Hopefully those will be fixed soon and you can try again.

You should also make that your shortcode [forgot-password] contains the reset_email_url option and that its value is the url of the page where your shortcode [confirm-forgot-password] is used.

Great! Thank you so much! ??

Too funny, never looked that close I guess ??

Could you add them to the help function on the next update please?

@samwz, well I wouldn’t say I’ve fixed it LOL

I feel you, I’m now on day 2 fighting with it. So far, the password reset function partially works (it sends the email but it is missing the subject). The registration form process still does not work and neither does the sample email on the email tab of the admin pages.

I just thought to try a password reset using the shortcode. It worked but the subject did not come through. I will continue to debug to see what happened before. When I found the fail it was on a new user registration.

I saw all the new options and I like them. Everything does have something in the message box. All other settings are set as you described. Still nothing.

Likewise, the Send Sample Email option does not work. I choose an email template from the dropdown, type in my email address, and hit the Send Sample Email button but nothing happens. Again, no attempt even in the mail.log

All emails did work before I did the upgrade.
