[MaNGOS] Password change

[theheadlh]

Hi everyone!

There's any way to change the account password in MaNGOS server?
Since mangos starts to encript passwords i don't know how to change it for my players.

Thanks in advance.

i dont think there is a way, so you're players may just have to stick with their old passwords, though i think some people have queries for the DB to change it

Maybe some website do this... but i don't see this feature in any.

I'm assuming MaNGOS uses SHA1 encryption, so what you would need to do is build a PHP that takes form input from a password field, encrypt it and compare it to the password that's already in the DB. If the two match, then the page would read the values of the New Password and Confirm New Password fields, make sure they match, and if so, then encrypt their contents and UPDATE the row in the DB for that user.

Someone with more interest in MaNGOS than myself (I'm an Ascent guy), can build this page relatively quickly.

So is it me, or i've used an old mangos... when you oppen the database from sqlyog/navicat... the passwords must be next to the acc name, like ever i've seen in my life... the account table, the thing where you make accs :|
