[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: Is there any way to create account recovery code automatically ?

As to the secret code, a simple way would be to create a required custom profile field that is only visible to the user himself and to the founder/admin. It still requires that the user stores the value entered locally because if he forgets his password he won't have access to his profiledata.
Using the Contact Admin extension the user could then post in a special forum or send a PM - providing the secret code and requesting a password reset.

However, the founder admin would still have to send the new password to the user, implying use of a mailservice.

Disclaimer: I'm just letting my thoughts run wild ATM: so perhaps I'm overlooking something easier.
I created custom profile field. It works, but the option to view on profile is combined for moderator and Admin. Any workaround ?

Edit : I have disabled 'Can view profiles, memberlist and online list' for moderator.
(Don't know if Moderator will ever need to see users profiles)

Edit 2: Doesn't look like good solution.
