After auth.define_tables(), I think: db.auth_user.password.requires = None # or some other validator, such as IS_STRONG()
should do it. By default, the password field has a CRYPT() validator, which does the hashing -- this would remove/replace that validator. However, this is not a good practice. I can see why you might initially want to have the plain text of temporary passwords to distribute, but once a user logs in and updates the password, why do you continue to need the plain text of the updated password?
