Changing a login account password in the PEQ database

[phis2017]

Hey Folks,
I want to know how to change a login account password in the PQ database.
Looking in the login_accounts table, I noticed that there is a field called account_password. However, it looks like the data is encrypted. Is there a function that I can use to generate the encryption hash? Thanks!!

Unless I'm reading this incorrectly.. You're trying to decrypt a login_account password that has logged into your server? That's pretty sus.

Not really decrypting it.. I just need to know how to change the password if someone forgets it. Is there a trigger on the the database that automatically encrypts the password when the field is updated or do I need to use some kind of PED encryption function to convert the password and then paste it into the field.


Thanks!

It would prob be easier to get the user to create a new login, then move the char(s) associated with the old account to the new

Only if your are 101% sure they are the actual owner thou
A lot of admins wont do it as it can cause problems down the line

If a user forgets there pws then they can only blame themselves imo :)
