User pass in SQL

[aerolite]

Is it possible when a player create password for his account it will appear like what it is in SQL not like "5ae60223ccf7a8be75feef12d4328eaf5d67712c" ?

you want to turn off password encryption? Why? To find out what passwords they are using, so you can try them on other sites?

And no, i don't think this is possible. If i found out someone was doing this, i would not play on the server. It's careless and irresponsible.

Furthermore, the client doesn't send the password in plaintext anymore. At least AFAIK.

Hey don't be so dumb, how about if someone asking to fix their characters? btw thanks for the help but I can't accept the word that comes to your mouth. Maybe thats your job.

Sure you can, but it would require modifying realmd. Good luck.

you can move characters to a different account via db, no need to log them

If you mean "I forgot my password, what is it?", then you just create a new password for him/her in the console.

If you mean "Look at that character there, it has something wrong, log in to my account", then you either ask that person what his/her password is, or use the console to create a new password.

Storing passwords in plain text is never good, a lot safer to encrypt them.

For example, if your mysql server gets hacked, then the people hacking it can easy read the passwords stored there. And usally people uses the same password for everything. And then all their other accounts needs a new password (if you notice that your server was hacked at all).

Sometimes, people doesn't want other people to know what kind of password they use. A safe password, is a password that only you know about.

But if you must, then do as Patman128 told you,

edit realmd to encrypt the passwords it has read from the database,

and edit mangosd to store the passwords in plain text when you create/modify an account.

There's a lot to do, and I would not do it, cause it would ruin the security, and slow down the login process (since realmd must always encrypt the password when a user logs in).
