Hello!

I am looking for something that can provide assistance in keeping private information secret on a forum, as a past forum admin downloaded the tables with information, and therefore threatening the security.
I have informed all users about the issue, but is there any way to force change the passwords for all the users at once?

Mods, etc?

Thanks

Hello, and thanks for response :)

Me as an Admin can't see any noticeable changes after installing the modification. The miscellaneous tab in the administration section pops up, but it appears to be blank.
Where is the change made and what else do I need to do, in order to make it work?

Passwords are encrypted anyway, so even downloading the dB won't reveal them unless you know the key and the hash / salt no?

To improve security, remember what Mulder said in the X-Files? Trust No-one. So only make someone an Admin if you know who they are and have met in person. Works for me anyway. ;D
