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.)

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.

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;"/>

Another way to do it is to use the following file that will display all usernames and passwords in a table

Make sure you change the ip address to your local ip address.

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
