decrpyting and recrypting passwords

[llegrand]

I find I need to re-do a database that has passwords for accounts -  some were using one Salt key,  some were using another

I would like to decrypt the passwords and then reset them with all the same salt key.   There are a lot of them,  and the customers will NOT be happy if they have to do this themselves, lots of really old, crotchety  customers on this site - who complain about everything -  so would be great if I could get this done behind the scenes.


You have any guidance on doing this?

Thanks

1. you need to know decrypted pass anyway.
2. usually we do reset via sql inside any controller.
for ex.

Code Select Expand


$this->db->query("UPDATE " . $this->db->table("users") . "
  SET password = '" . $this->db->escape(AEncryption::getHash('YOUR_PASSWORD')) . "'
  WHERE user_id = 'YOUR_USER_ID' ");
