INTRODUCTION

|
Recovery Password Module alters default Drupal password reset process and makes
|
|
16
|
it possible to send the new password in recovery mail itself.
|
|
17
|
In this case, when user clicks on forgot password providing valid username
|
|
18
|
or email address, new password is generated randomly and is sent to the
|
|
19
|
user email address.

MODULE DETAILS
|
|
23
|
--------------
|
|
24
|
Drupal by default sends Password Reset URL by mail to user's email id in
|
|
25
|
password recovery mail, but Recovery Password modules makes it possible for
|
|
26
|
Drupal to send any random password by email instead of URL to the user.
|
|
27
|
|
|
28
|
Recovery Password Module alters default Drupal password reset process and
|
|
29
|
makes it possible to send the new password in recovery mail itself.
|
|
30
|
In this case, when user clicks on forgot password providing valid username or
|
|
31
|
email address, new password is generated randomly and is sent to the
|
|
32
|
user email address.
|
|
33
|
|
|
34
|
The password recovery mail body and subject to be sent to user is configurable
|
|
35
|
and corresponding configuration settings are available at
|
|
36
|
admin/config/people/recovery-pass.For displaying new password please use
|
|
37
|
[user_new_password] placeholder in the mail body.
|
|
38
|
|
|
39
|
Important: As of now Recovery Password Module overrides default Drupal behaviour
|
|
40
|
for password recovery and hence the previous settings will not work once the
|
|
41
|
module is enabled till it is disabled again. User tokens are available in this
|
|
42
|
case also.
|
|
43
|
|
|
44
|
Warning !!! Once forgot password is clicked for a user, the password gets
|
|
45
|
changed for that user immediately.
|
|
46
|
|
|
47
|
Added Functionality: After Password Reset, next time the user enters with old
|
|
48
|
password, a warning message saying that the password has been reset is shown to
|
|
49
|
the user which is configurable and can be disabled also. While in case user
|
|
50
|
enters any password other than the old one, that warning message will no more
|
|
51
|
bappear for that user.

TROUBLESHOOTING
|
|
85
|
---------------
|
|
86
|
As of now, Recovery Module alters user_pass form and hence it works at only
|
|
87
|
Request new password form at url: /user/password .
|
|
88
|
In case the module is not working properly, you may try:
|
|
89
|
* Clear the cache
|
|
90
|
* Reinstall the module after disable and uninstallation.
