I'd be interested in seeing that as well.
However, (putting on my security hat) do not store passwords in any form
that can be retrieved and displayed to the user. Store them in some
sort of one-way encryption or hash and require the user to reset the
password if they've forgotten it. It's easy to do and probably
supported by every login mechanism out there.
Signed,
Was once on the wrong side of "...they cracked our system and stole all
the user logins and passwords".

Hi all,
Can anyone point me to a resource on best practices for password
reset/retrieval? Does anyone have any good information to share?
Thanks!
