Is there a way to de-crypt member passwords? - Posted: June 27, 2008 - 11:54 AM

We want to be able to "login as" any member to troubleshoot questions that some members have. The passwords stored in the sitellite_users table are encrypted (I think with the "better_crypt" function). Is there a way to read the encrypted passwords back to clear text?

I am pretty certain that would not be possible.

You can't decrypt the password, but you could probably fake it by setting the right info in PHP then calling $session::start(). Although you would no longer be logged in as the original user after that. Probably have to write a custom function that inherits their user info temporarily, but yeah that would be more complicated to do...
