Password Field isn't Encrypt ! was created by nooran
Hi

I make a new password field in my cb, but when I check it in Database, it is clear text !!!
It's really recommanded that encrypt this field, why it isn't ?

I search the forum I find that there is no encrpyted field in cb, but the password must be different.
Can anyone help me on what should I do if I want to encrypt (password field) by my self ?

I use joomla 2.5 with CB 1.9.1.

Only the core password field is encrypted. There would be no point in encrypting new password fields because then only Joomla could validate it. It's left as plaintext so you can validate against it using plaintext, implement your own encryption, pass to an external system, etc... To implement your own encryption you'll need to write a new plugin to do this or try to do it via CB Auto Actions.

You'll need to use a Code action and execute the needed PHP on the raw value of that field (e.g. [var1_cb_password]) then store it to the users object using CB API. You can find examples of editing a user through API in the below tutorial.
