Re: BillMax questions -- Plaintext Password

[Jeff LaCoursiere <jeff@jeff.net>]

Hi Chidi,

Hmm, not sure on this one.  I think I understand that you need to be able
to change the password on an existing service page and use service_hook to
send the plaintext version of the password to another system that requires
it that way?  What is the system that requires it in plaintext?  Perhaps
we can think of another way.

I know this has come up on the list in the past, so I am reposting this to
see if someone else has tackled it...

Thanks,

j
