Hi, there.

Is there a way to reveal the passwords for user accounts on the Admin page of CMSB? This is so I can see passwords, rather than the black circles that currently appear. (Please see attachment.)

If you use Firefox, the Web Developer Toolbar can do this for you.

Thanks for this, but I was looking for a solution that my client could use as part of CMSB, rather than browser-based. This is a useful tool for me, though.

Hi,

I use sometimes this solution (Technique 2) :

I think that it would be possible to integrate it in a plugin.

You also have:

Here a solution for cmsB 2.04 and http://code.google.com/p/dpassword/ :

1) in lib/menus/default/edit_fonctions.php (line 174) add:
id="$fieldname"

2) in Admin > Section Editors > User Accounts
a) Enable System Field Editing
b) Modify Password
c) Add in Field Description :

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="show password" id="submit" onclick="alert('fieldname: ' + $('#password').attr('name') + '\npassword value: '+ $('#password').val()); return false;"/>

Hi there,

Does this method help? Uncheck this option:

Admin > Section Editors > User Accounts > modify "password" field > Advanced Options (show all) >
Password Field - hide text that users enter (show values as *****)

Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris
