Hi Mark and liveCloud team
Please accept my apologies if I missed this in the documentation - is there method for changing a user's password?
Thanks to a nice forum post from Mark, i saw there was an internal method (not mentioned in the documentation) to allow users to reset their account with a random string, but my users will want to change this to one they will remember after logging in...
I can't see a way to hash the new password provided by a user to update the cdbUsers record with the hashed version. Although i'm not sure, i don't imagine cdb_updateUserAccount would do this automatically.
As far as i can see, the only way to do this would be to get the existing cdbUser's data, delete the entry and and create a new user with the update password, which seems a faff, not to mention time-consuming function...
Is there a better way of doing this? (or will cdb_updateUserAccount do this automatically?)
Many thanks in advance,
Stam
