de-crypt password

hey guys

have created an admin page to manage user accounts and the password is still displaying as encrypted,of course kind of annoying when u got to update and it inserts the encrypted version of the password....

also have another form where i set some details to be encrypted which also has the same problem, I thought data-bridge would of worked its magic when selecting the field as encrypted.....

encryption is set to SHA1.

I know there was an option with the old security assist but for the life of me I cant seem to find the option with the data-bridge version.

thanks in advance

jamie424562 sorry to give you this news but encrypted passwords even the old ways with md5 now sha1 they can not be de-crypted there is not way to do that on any server, thats the point of them for security its a format that is only one way around and no way back.

Now what i do on admin panels where i have passwords i delete the value in the field and then i do a condition in the update behavior instead of binding in the update the post field for the password i add a bit more

<?php echo ((isset($_POST["Password"]) && $_POST["Password"] != "")?WA_SHA1Encryption($_POST["Password"]):"".$row_WADAmyrecord['Password'].""); ?>

notice i compare in that sentence if the post field is not empty post the new password and it applys again the encryption if the Post field is empty then leave the data of the record for the password and it inserts the encrypted old password without changing it.

After that i change my validation on the page i set the password to allow it to be empty server side and also the spry data i set it to false

Hope this helps.
