Thread:Project:Support desk/Reveal user password in user table/reply

Hello! In phpMyAdmin you can select to show blob values in the options. But for the passwords it wouldn't help you to find it out. The password is no where saved in MediaWiki, te user_passwords field only contains the hash value of the password to check the entered password of the user against. If you forgot you password, please refer to Manual:Resetting_passwords.

The e-mail field can be empty (it stores the users e-mail adsress), if Manual:$wgEmailConfirmToEdit is set to false (default) ;)
