There is an open bug report (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5280) suggesting that the staff client's "change password" page (accessed via the "Change Password" button from a patron's account in the staff client) use a password-type input form, meaning the password you enter would be masked as it is on login forms ("*******"). I have a patch in progress which would implement this along with a second confirmation field ("confirm password") as is customary on change password forms--you can't be confident you're entering the password correctly if your entry is masked.
The problem is that this doesn't work with the feature which suggests a random password: "Below is a randomly generated suggestion." We can't offer to give the patron a randomly-generated password if we aren't able to tell them what it is when we're assigning it. I'm asking for opinions: Is the random password feature something we can give up? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org [email protected] http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
