• Help on emailing forgot password reset

  Hello friends,

  
  

  Please kindly on advice the cause of my app sends do not spam users.

  
  

  I am building a web application using Php, MySQL in Dreamweaver, as seen here http://rmww.org/DBMS/index.php .

  
  

  Now I have a password reset form which is supposed to allow users to reset their forgotten password, as seen here http://rmww.org/DBMS/reset_password.php . When a user fills out the form, the system searches for the e-mail address and if there is, it will assign a new password to the user and sends an automated user e-mail.

  
  

  The question I have now is, when the system detects the email and assigns a new password, it is not send a message to the user. Its seems to me that there is a setting that prevents that from happening.

  
  

  Can you please check and advice? Here is my code:

  
  

  <? php require_once('Connections/dbconnect.php');? >

  <? PHP

  If (isset($_POST['resetpassword']) & & $_POST ['resetpassword'] == 'resetnow') {}

  @mysql_select_db ($database_dbconnect, $dbconnect);

  $query_rsEmail = "SELECT E-mail for registration by e-mail WHERE = '". "." $_POST ['frm_reset_email']. » ' « ;

  $rsEmail = mysql_query ($query_rsEmail, $dbconnect) or die (mysql_error ());

  $row_rsEmail = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rsEmail);

  $totalRows_rsEmail = mysql_num_rows ($rsEmail);

  If ($totalRows_rsEmail > 0) {}

  $newpass = substr (md5 (rand () .rand (()), 0, 7);

  $newpassword = md5 ($newpass);

  $updateSQL = "UPDATE record SET password =" "." $newpassword. "" "WHERE email = '". " $_POST ['frm_reset_email']. » ' « ;

  @mysql_select_db ($database_dbconnect, $dbconnect);

  $Result = mysql_query ($updateSQL, $dbconnect) or die (mysql_error());

  If ($Result) {}

  $to = $_POST ['frm_reset_email'];

  $subject = 'Your new password';

    $from = ' [email protected] ';

  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

  $headers. = "content-type: text / html;" Charset = UTF-8\r\n ";

  $headers. = "from: my Web site name <". "." $from. "' > \r\n";

  Hi all

  Thank you for taking the time to review my code possible solution.

  We were able to solve the problem. The problem was not the code infacts 3 different samples of codes which have been compiled for this task. The problem came from our hosting company. They locked or disabled the feature that is supposed to allow sending code on required emails. So, even when the code handles the task of backend has completed its work, it may not send a return email to the user.

  We contacted our hosting company and has informed about it and asked how they can help track the issue. That's when they told us and said (Please read their emails below)

  We have implemented additional security measures against spam on our servers hosting several months ago, resulting in a change in the configuration of the mail server. In particular, it is not possible to send an email on accounts and default e-mail account does not exist more and scripts are required to use the proper SMTP authentication.

  In order to solve the problem, you use SMTP as the e-mail sending method and include the SMTP authentication in your script. For authentication, you must use a valid email address created in cPanel > Email and its respective password accounts. Please make sure that your script settings meet these requirements and are trying to send mail again, it should work.

  In our effort to implement the solution they suggested, they finally asked us to send our email address so that they can help us to define the system from their point of arrival indicated below

  One of the ways to implement authentication SMTP in PHP is http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm

  Optionally, you can specify the outgoing e-mail address using the PHP "sendmail_path" parameter, if this option is more appropriate, please let us know the email address (hosted locally on the same server, created in the cPanel > e-mail accounts) and we will help.

  What they have done to their end, and now our code runs as expected. Should their be a faced with these challenges, strive to communicate with your hosting company.

  Hope this helps

• Modification of Microsoft email account

  I know that there is currently no way to easily change the email address associated with a Microsoft Account for security reasons. I'm looking at a work-around that can solve my problems and I wanted some comments as to if it will work or not.

  I'm changing ISPs and, therefore, my e-mail address with my previous provider will become invalid. Can I pay for an extra month maintaining the old e-mail so that I am in the transition, but at some point, I'm going to stop doing that. I installed a few e-mail alias in my outlook.com or live account and I put my Gmail address as my primary alias. In addition, whenever my identity must be verified, I put in place so that I'll be texted on my smartphone.

  What I want to know is:

  (1) with this configuration, all notifications by e-mail from Microsoft will come to my Gmail account because it's my primary alias on outlook.com?

  (2) when my original email address finally become invalid, it will be irrelevant because all notifications and security checks will now be carried out be my email address Gmail or send a SMS text message on my smartphone?

  I understand the process of switching to a local account; cutting the Microsoft account and restoring the Microsoft account with a different email address, but with this process, I also lose the connection for applications that can I have bought and I want to avoid this hassle.

  It looks like the solution I proposed above will work?

  Using a non-Microsoft email as a Microsoft account is certainly possible (make millions of people, and I guess your wife joined them), but it introduces also some quirks. For example, if your wife opens her mail app, she'll see an account that has its Gmail address in the name, but no mail comes to him because it's really a Microsoft account.  In fact, she could use that same gmail address to login to www.outlook.com and see it is actually an empty Inbox (because goes to this e-mail address would go to Gmail.com instead, naturally).  Of course, this does not cause a 'problem', but it can be confusing.

• Cannot send Emails on password reset in OIM11gR1

  Hi all

  We use an OIM11gR1 in the cloud. And SMTP server of gmail as our mail servers and tries to send emails that are available OOTB.

  Could someone please help me out here.

  Thank you

  Hi all

  Finally I could find the problem and fix it. SMTP Amazon server needs authentication and does not allow anonymous auth. considering that in our configuration, the resource has been created by setting authentication = false and when I set authentication = true and specify the user name & password, he launched me following the newspaper error message:

  javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: building way PKIX failed: weblogic

  When I check the keystore (Java - cacerts cacerts Weblogic & DemoTrust.jks), the Amazonia SSL certificate is missing. So I imported the certificate in all these 3 keystore then restarted the WebLogic Server.

  Now the problem is solved and I could send emails successfully.

  Thank you for all your help.

• separate user and HP Pavilion Sleekbook Windows 8 account passwords

  The Black Friday 2013, I bought a HP Pavilion Sleekbook running Windows 8 and has a tactile ability.  After that I loaded an update to 8.1, my computer at the next startup said it was up to the previous version of Windows and tried to make repairs. The operation failed with my refresh attempt.  I had to reset that completely erased my files.  On reboot, the requested lock screen my Microsoft email account and the password, he has not before.  Not knowing not if it would ruin, with a different password, I used the real one not my original password computer.  Now, I have to use my Microsoft account password to unlock my computer.  I want to change my lock screen password change my password of the Microsoft account.  Would defeat the purpose of changing the password.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, TMS

  Hello Kiralinde

  I hope that you do not give because your last post made me know what you wanted. The problem is not that you must change your password to what we must do is to change your profile to use a Microsoft Account to a local account. Follow the steps I am outlining below and you should fix:

  Step 1. The Control Panel (Display icon), click/click on the user accounts icon, click on / tap open the link Edit my account in the settings of your laptop .

  2. open the step PC settings, click/click on users on the left, click/tap on the shift to a local account on the right side.

  Not really, no.  It could be an accident too - someone ' one with a user name very similar to yours that's typo in their username, may not know why they are unable to open a session, requested a password reset, thinking they forgot what it.

  If you have already used your account Hotmail (or Facebook or any number of other services) represent a public WiFi access point and do not use (because you didn't know you could or was not available) the option always use HTTPS for the login, then it would have been easy for someone using Firesheep, a Firefox Add-on, to steal your identity change your account security options and you prevent access to the account in the future.  It happened to thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people and can continue to occur.  This is the reason that Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc. now have the opportunity to always use HTTPS (secure http) when using these services.

  In particular, it is very difficult to get this resolved through the normal procedures of Hotmail, because even if you still have access to the Hotmail account, if the hijacker changed the options for the validation of changes to alert his or herself, they will be sent for approval to allow the changes.  It's a huge Catch 22 I don't think Hotmail address management.  If this should happen to me, I post the question on https://www.facebook.com/Hotmail with a description Specifies how the account recovery process fails because the hijacker must approve attempts to reset the security options and they will never be.  Perhaps public embarrassment will accomplish what cannot reasonable requests.

• login screen Microsoft account does not accept my password reset

  After trying several times the cccount login page microsoft won't reset my password.  I called microsoft and they say reset my password again.  I have done this and chosen a new password, but it still does not recognize my new password.  Help!

  You have enabled authentication step 2?

  I suspect what happens is that you use always the global account password and not the built application password.  You will always get mail until you connect the device (which is a good idea in any case) and then you'll need generate a password (on the pc in outlook.com) and 'trust' of the mobile device. After what he should not do that.

  You must open a session and go here https://account.live.com/securityprivacy/overview to do.

  Alternatively, you can install the outlook application, so whenever you need an "access code", you can approve it directly on the mobile device.
