Is there a way to display a none encrypted value in a passwordfield, but when the user types in the password it is encrypted?

I'm using the standard memberloginform.php

I can display the value, but it shows up as encrypted ********

The field itself would be fairly easy to construct, but the password is stored in the database as a hash - meaning you can't access the original password (as Aaron mentioned).

However, you wouldn't need to extend the entire Member model. To disable password encryption, you can just call "Security::encrypt_passwords(false);", and then use some javascript or something to achieve what you're trying to do (I think).

Double-A-Ron & ajshort,

Thanks a million for the help.

What I was attempting to do is (maybe isn't industry standard) was to display for the login form the value of Enter Email and Enter Password in the respective fields

The password field shows the ***** but the email works.

I discovered after accomplishing this that what I was really after was when the user clicks on the field to enter their email that the Enter Email would disappear and the same for the Enter Password.

I'm thinking I'll have to attempt this with jquery or something...

Oh, I just want to store the email address and password and that's all.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate you both.

Terry
