In my last tutorial, ‘A Better Login System‘, a few people commented on how they would like to see a tutorial on password recovery, which is something you don’t always see in user access tutorials. The tutorial I am bringing you today will deal with just that. Using mySQLi, we will learn to recover unencrypted and (one-way) encrypted passwords.

A Better Login System
Mar 26th in PHP by Andrew SteenbuckNet.tuts+ has published several great tutorials on user login systems. Most tutorials only deal with authenticating the user, which allows for two levels of security: logged in and not logged in. For many sites, a finer degree of control is needed to control where users can go and what they can do. Creating an access control list (ACL) system will give you the flexibility for granular permissions.
