Hello Tongai.,

now I see what you mean. This is by design, see Odhiambo's reply for =

reasoning. I think it's either you had a very very very old version of =

vexim (before version control) on your previous server, or you may have =

had it patched (which I think wouldn't be too difficult) to display the =

password. Either way, see Avleen's reply =96 neither the admins, nor =

anyone else, should have access to the plaintext passwords. When the =

user forgets their password, you, as an admin, can simply change it. =

Storing it in plain text is but a recipe for disaster.

Regards,
Rimas
