dandy7200 August 8, 2007 Share August 8, 2007 PLEASE DO NOT MOVE THIS THREAD! If you do I wont be able to see it unless I am on this particular computer! The password recovery system is flawed. I can only log on to WAMAS from one of the 6 computers I use (and it is not the convenient one). My password did not change, I just logged out of all the computers last week when I went on vacation. When I try to log back in with the same password the system is telling me that it is wrong. So I send a e-mail to the automated password recovery system and follow the steps required to change my password. Driver error occurs. Why can't the system just send me my current password rather than make me choose a new one? A security question could be answered instead of making me choose a new password that the system wont accept. Anyone trying to contact me via PM please use my e-mail for faster reply: dan@greyseasaquatics.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emissary August 8, 2007 Share August 8, 2007 So I send a e-mail to the automated password recovery system and follow the steps required to change my password. Driver error occurs. Why can't the system just send me my current password rather than make me choose a new one? A security question could be answered instead of making me choose a new password that the system wont accept. Sort of not-in-the-context-of-your-specific-problem... but the answer to this question is typically security related. Storing passwords in the clear is BAD. Storing passwords using reversible encryption means that there is a key somewhere that is used to decrypt it. Where is that key stored? Who has access to it? The key management aspect here typically is done poorly and thus reversible encryption is also typically BAD. That leaves one-way encryption (password hashes) where given a particular "salt" (think... starting entropy), a unique (across all inputs), but repeatable, hash is created. The consequence of password hashes is that "the system" cannot tell you what your password is, but can allow you reset functionality if you know your current password.

hax0r August 8, 2007 Share August 8, 2007 Thanks emissary, I actually don't understand anything you said though ...... Here is the error message: mySQL query error: UPDATE ibf_members_converge SET converge_pass_hash='8ee630d60731bbc50a67db32dc8ff034' WHERE converge_id= SQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 SQL error code: Date: Wednesday 08th of August 2007 12:31:32 AM Doug, is it too late to call?

davelin315 August 8, 2007 Share August 8, 2007 And I thought I had too much time on my hands... taking a break from finalizing the set up in the basement and saw "hax0r" and read the signature. Dan, you are a texting machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhoch August 8, 2007 Share August 8, 2007 This error has occured a number fo times... I have a way of fixing it, but it involves direct database manipulation (which is why I have not shared with anyone)... a novice could very easily screw things up. If you are haveing this problem please contact me. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
