Security Breech.

On another site that a majority of my users are members on the passwords turned out to be logged. This could be a serious security breech for my entire member base. Is there anyway i could reset all the passwords and email them to the person on the next login, or make them change their password next time they login?

Other than going through each member's profile, individually, no.

Although, there may be a database hack, to do that, I guess.

Why not just send them all a PM, reminding them to change their passwords, and to try to remember to do that, regularly?

Thanks for the swift replies!

mmm...I'd better trust a complete reset of all the passwords rather than force the users to change their password.

The attached files should do that.
It's not nice to see since I wrote it now, but it should work. Put it in your SMF directory and run it from your browser.
It will automatically reload the page properly if javasript is enabled.

I didn't test it that much... O:)


Take a peek at what I'm doing! ;D
