I am testing out WEC_TYPO3 4.3. As the backend "Admin" I can see the passowrd of users. Would it be better for the passwords to be encrypted so they are not readable by even the backend admin? Is it possible to make the password encrypted?

Hi John,

add this line into the TS of the default template:
plugin.tx_srfeuserregister_pi1.useMd5Password = 1

Thanks Tobias,

I will try it out. Really appreciate your quick answer.

I am only a newbie to TYPO3 and WEC, so many more things for me to learn. Can you point me the direction as to where would I find the DOCUMENTATION for something like this line that would add encryption feature?

Also, would a website be more secure if the password encryption is the default rather than an option?

Hi John,

I found it in my constants, but in the documentation of the repository normally you find also the information:
typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/sr_feuser_register/2.5.24/view/1/4/#id2413156

If I'm looking for an issue of the typo3, I google in different forums and try to understand the documentation of the repository. But there is rarely the real way, how to do something - you find often "only" the options.

Greetings
Tobias
