JomSocial Expired

Hi

I appreciate JomSocial sent out a welcome email to the test account, that's always a nice touch.

But I was stunned to see plaintext password spelled out in the email. Why is the password not hashed? This is like the worst security offense you can commit in this day and age. What can I do to ensure that no plaintext passwords are stored and used on the site.

Please advise what options are available.

regards,
SH

Hi.

This is not JomScial but Joomla settings. Backend -> Users -> User Manager -> Options -> Sen password -> set to NO.

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
