Forgot Password Email

Hi
I have modified the login registration pages by following the steps in the solution recipes on the following url

securityassist/

Everything works well and I thank you for making the videos tutorials for modifying the login process, I got to the final one, before I experienced any problems,

07_send_password.swf

The forgot password email, that is being sent from the random password generator displays the password in an encrypted format, I have reworked this page several times but to no effect?
In the tutorials, the guy gets his new password in an unencrypted format?

At the beginning of the tutorial it says 'Email new unencrypted password', in the bullet points?

I have attached my page for you to have a look at, I'm sure it's something stupid, however, I think it may be one of those 'can't see for looking scenarios'.

Any advice would be really apreciated.
Thanks in advance

In the forgot password server behavior, go to the last screen where you can set the email body, select the password placeholder and delete it, then click the plus button and select the NewPW session variable.

Hi Jason
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, I have tried that (3 times now), I deleted the password placeholder but when I attempt to add the session (NEW_PW) nothing happens, I can see it in the list, select it and then nothing actually gets inserted?
Any ideas? is there some way I can manually change this?
I have attached a screnshot fyi to be sure I am in the right place.
Thanks in advance

make sure your mosuse cursor is in the email body section before clicking on the plaus button.

you can change tit in the code by editing the following line:

php:

"sessionVariables" => array(""),

to:

php:

"sessionVariables" => array("NEW_PW"),

then change:

php:

"mailBody" => "User name: [UserEmail]\nPassword: [UserPassword]\nPlease log in and reset your password to something you can remember.",

to:

php:

"mailBody" => "User name: [UserEmail]\nPassword: [Session.NEW_PW]\nPlease log in and reset your password to something you can remember.",
