| 34 | <PRE>><i> One month ago I was asking about a SENDPASS command in NickServ. | |
| 35 | </I>><i> Some people from the list replyed that it is not possible to send the password | |
| 36 | </I>><i> as long as the encryption is not reversible. | |
| 37 | </I>><i> But Lonewolf pointed out that would be nice to make services reset the | |
| 38 | </I>><i> password (/*to some rand chars*/) and send it to user. | |
| 39 | </I> | |
| 40 | How about having it if encryption isn't used and changing the password if it is? | |
| 41 | There was a discussion on this and its on Andrew's todo list. | |
| 42 | I've forgotten what was suggested as regards to allowing the user to use this, | |
| 43 | or only the services admins. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | ><i> But this is just a half of the problem. The other half is that a | |
| 46 | </I>><i> password-thief will change the email address as soon as he has the password | |
| 47 | </I>><i> for a nick...so any new passwords will be sent to a wrong address. This is the | |
| 48 | </I>><i> reason I was talking about a parallel db read-only for regular users... | |
| 49 | </I> | |
| 50 | How about having the email address(the old one) in the log file instead of having a | |
| 51 | separate db. Anything to stop from having another db :-) | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | ><i> When to insert a new email? Only at registration time? And what to do with | |
| 54 | </I>><i> users changeing email address? etc). | |
| 55 | </I> | |
| 56 | this is the only issue currently associated with the new db idea, the rest are easy to avoid. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | ><i> It's a long story...that's why I sayd it may sound stupid...but I guess there | |
| 59 | </I>><i> are others too who have this kind of problems with stolen nicks. | |
| 60 | </I> | |
| 61 | Stupid is not a nice word to use :-) | |
| 62 | Nothing is stupid, well almost nothing, and this doesn't come under it. | |
