Can't send User Password was created by tmoran
This has been an ongoing problem and I can't for the life of me work out what's wrong...

I am attempting to send a User their Username & Password from CB...

The password once saved in the database is hashed.
This means its not available for clear text viewing any more.

So you can only send the password during the initial phase of registration (just before data is saved in database).

Thanks Nant. Is this also the case if I was to send a Resend Confirmation Email and the password was in the original email (IF I was able to send it correctly in the first place)?

Yup - you can never resend a hashed password.
