PHP - Password Reminder

This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous.

Hello PhP Freaks forum
In the past weeks ive been trying to make a website, where you can register. Everything seems to work except my cherished Change password feature. Everytime you try to change the password, it just resets it to nothing.

Here is the code below.

<?php
         if(isset($_SESSION['username']))
         {
            $username = $_SESSION['username'];
            $lastname = $_SESSION['lastname'];
            $firstname = $_SESSION['firstname'];
            $email = $_SESSION['email'];
               
            echo "
            
               <h4>Options for:</h4> &nbsp; $username
               <br />
               <br />
               First name: &nbsp; $firstname
            
               <br />Last name: &nbsp; $lastname       
   
   <br /><br /><h3>Want to change your password:</h3><br />
   
      <form action='?do=option' method='post'>
   
      Old password <input type='password' placeholder='Has to be between 5-15 digits' name='password' size='30' value='' /><br />
                  <br />
      New Password<input type='password' placeholder='Has to be between 5-15 digits' name='newpass' size='30' value='' /><br />
                  <br />
      Confirm new password <input type='password' placeholder='Has to be between 5-15 digits' name='passconf' size='30' value='' /><br />
                  
      <center></div><input type='submit' value='Submit'/></center></form>";   
      
            
         }else{
            echo 'Please login to view your options!';
         }
      
      $password = $_REQUEST['password'];
      $pass_conf = $_REQUEST['newpass'];
      $email = $_REQUEST['passconf'];
      
      $connect = mysql_connect("Host", "User", "Password");
      if(!$connect){
      die(mysql_error());
      }
      
      //Selecting database
      $select_db = mysql_select_db("My Database", $connect);
      if(!$select_db){
      die(mysql_error());
      }
      
      //Find if entered data is correct
      
      $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'");
      $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
      $id = $row['id'];

            
         mysql_query("UPDATE users SET password='$newpass' WHERE username='$user'")
      
      ?>          

And i do know that i dont have a

if(Empty($newpass)){
Die(Please fill out the new password)                                                 
}

Or any security on the others, but the problem just seems that it resets the password into nothing

Hope i can get this fixed

Hi Friends ....
I encrypt user password by SHA('$Password') method but now i want to add "Forget Password Module" for which I need to decrypt it first before tell my user but I don't Know how to decrypt it.
Please help me........

This topic has been moved to Application Design.

I am having some trouble getting this to pull the password correctly from the database.
I believe the problem is from the password being in md5 format.
I am not sure how to fix the issue.

Much thanks

Hi all,

I am trying to make a 'forgot password' script.

The passwords in the database are md5 encrypted.

Is there a way to reverse this md5 password and send the forgotten password in its orginal for to the user through email?

Thanks.


<?PHP 
include("cxn.php");

$sql = "SELECT password FROM Members WHERE email='$_POST[email]'";
$result = mysqli_query($cxn,$sql)
or die ("Couldn't execute query");

$num = mysqli_num_rows($result);

if ($num >0) // Email Address Found 
{
$password = md5($_POST['password']); // Trying to take the md5 off the password here.

$to = "$_POST[email]";
$subj = "Password for website.co.uk";
$mess = "Your password for www.website.co.uk is: \n
$_POST['password'] \n
Please login with your email address and this password. Thank you.";
$mailsend = mail($to,$subj,$mess,$headers);

$update= "An email containing your password has been sent to". $_POST['email'].".";
include("signin-redirect.php");
}
else // Email Address Not Found
{
$registrationerror = "The email address '$_POST[email]' is already registered!";
include("signin-redirect.php");
}

?>

Hy 2 all,

I have some questions about password security that I haven't been able to find an answer yet.   
Hopefully you guys know.

Here it goes:

1. Is it better to hash(sha2) the password and then salt it or salt it and than hash it ?
2. I'm guessing that using a random salt is better than the same salt used for every password.
3. How can you generate a different random salt for each password ? I mean how will the login page know which random salt to mix with the hashed user inserted password and then to compare it with the password stored in the db. (an example would be great(for both: generating and authentication)
4. I saw some codes in which the salt and/or hash and/or password was split into two (ex: hash.salt1a.password.salt1b  or  password1a.salt.password1b  or  salt.hash1a.password.hash1b  etc.) Is this a good idea ? Is it really more secure ? If so which would be more secure (splitting the password, the hash or the salt) ?
5. Is double hashing (ex: (sha1(md5($password))) any good ?
6. I've been reading something about password salt and pepper ?? What exactly is pepper ? Is it some sort of second salt ?

If somebody could enlighten me about these questions, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I'm still trying to figure out why I should use salt.

If the bad guy knows a name and tries something like brute force shoving passwords into the log-in form until one worked how would salt help stop that?

If a bad guy, God forbid, gets hold of the user names and passwords like they did phpbb(?) forums several years ago how would salt stop that?

I know I may be beating this issue to death but if I have salt in the users table assigned to a user and his password now equals $stored_password = sha1($salt.$password) does this really doesn't matter? Because if the bad guy knows the user name and uses brute force or has a list of passwords from the users table that he has gotten some way. All he has to do is type in the user name and password and salt will be added automatically.

The password ARE correct. My code keeps saying that the password is INCORRECT. The password is MD5'ed once a user registers, and when they type in a password at the login (as shown), the password is also MD5'ed.

Why is it that it's output is incorrect password?

Okay, so I am trying to create a login page
My problem is that after I register and I want to login it says I have an incorrect password
I encrypted the password with the md5 function and when I echoed the password in the db I get e882b72bccfc2ad578c27b0d9b472a14
and when I echoed the password I tried to login with I get e882b72bccfc2ad5

The password seems to be correct, just cut in half... Now why is the password I logged in with half the size it should be?

I want to add password validation to this code so that it displays "Incorrect Password" if the email and password doesn't match...Need some help..

<?php 
    include('dbconnect.php');
    session_start();

    if(isset($_POST['userLogin'])){

        $email=mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$_POST['email']);
        $pwd=md5($_POST['pwd']);
        $sql="SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE email='$email' AND password='$pwd'";
        $run_query=mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
        $count=mysqli_num_rows($run_query);

        if($count==1){
                $row=mysqli_fetch_array($run_query);
                $_SESSION['uid']=$row['user_id'];
                $_SESSION['uname']=$row['first_name'];
                echo "true";
        }
    }
    
 ?>

 

Having a little problem with passwords, they are stored clear text and not encrypted because its for an assignment and I need to prove in the write up that users can change their passwords.

Anyway when I register a user with a username and a password of say Password1, I can still login with PASSword1 or any other variation of upper and lower case characters!

This is my select statement:
Code: [Select]
$qry = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'";
Just wondering if there is anything that can be done to this, I read somewhere about using === but that doesn't seem to be fixing the problem, it just causes the query to fail!
Using MySQL if thats any help.

Thanks

when a user forgets his or her password they can retreive it by sending an email to their account and the password is given to them.  unfortunatly the password they recieve is in md5:

for example the password 'the' is given in an email like so:

Password:6e9b31333e61aad015fa16a3a5fe8e0d
Username:the
Please change your password as soon as you logon

could someone please advise me what i am doing wrong so the password would be converted back to plain text.

here is the code for the email:

$query="Select pw from user where uname='$name'" or die(mysql_error());
$result= mysql_query($query); 

if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){
for ($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

$pass= md5($row['pw']);
$to="$em\r\n";
$from="From: Admin@asdesigns.co.uk\r\n";
$msg="Password:$pass\r\n";
$msg .="Username:$name\r\n";
$msg .="Please change your password as soon as you logon\r\n";
$subject="From Admin  Your Login Password\r\n";

thanks in advance

i know im doing something really silly by missing something out but i cant see where it is

I want to password protect my entire website. How would I go on to doing this. There is a website that has this already (www.printerdev.co.uk). I want to do the exact same thing but not sure how to.

Can someone please help me
