Introduction
A master password can be created that, in the event a customer looses their password and the store owner has the customer's email address the store owner can login to the customer's account with a master password and have a new password sent to the customer.
Solution
In login.php find about line 35 is the code to change. Replace:
if (!tep_validate_password($_POST['password'], $Qcheck->value('customers_password'))) {
$error = true;
} else {
With:
$passwordgood = tep_validate_password($_POST['password'], $Qcheck->value('customers_password'));
if ($password == "setpwdhere" || $password == "setpwdhere2") {
$passwordgood = 1;
} else {
$passwordgood = $passwordgood;
}
if (!$passwordgood) {
$error = true;
} else {
Change "setpwdhere" and "setpwdhere2" to passwords you want to use. This will provide two different passwords that can be a Master Password.
Now, the store owner is able to login to the customer's account using the Master Password.
