Recovery Password (Email New Password)

Drupal by default sends Password Reset URL by mail to user's email id in password recovery mail, but Recovery Password module makes it possible for Drupal to send any random generated password(new password) by email instead of URL to the user.

Recovery Password Module alters default Drupal password reset process and makes it possible to

send the new password in recovery email

itself. In this case, when user clicks on forgot password providing valid username or email address, new password is generated randomly and is sent to the user email address.

The password recovery email body and subject to be sent to user is configurable and corresponding configuration settings are available at admin/config/people/recovery-pass.For displaying new password please use [user_new_password] placeholder in the email body.

Important: As of now Recovery Password Module overrides default Drupal behaviour for password recovery and hence the previous settings will not work once the module is enabled till it is disabled again. User tokens are available in this case also.

Warning !!! Once forgot password is clicked for a user, the password gets changed for that user immediately.

Added Functionality: After Password Reset, next time the user enters with old password, a warning message saying that the password has been reset is shown to the user which is configurable and can be disabled also. While in case user enters any password other than the old one, that warning message will no more appear for that user.

CONFIGURATION
-------------
* The password recovery email body and subject to be sent to user is configurable and corresponding configuration settings are available at admin/config/people/recovery-pass.For displaying new password please use [user_new_password] placeholder in the email body.

* If HTMLMAIL module exists then write mail in HTML format else email body will be sent as plain text considering new line.

* Warning Message to be shown, if user after resetting the password uses the old password again is configurable and can be enabled/disabled. By default warning message will be shown.

* Redirect Path after user submits Forgot Password Form is also made configurable with recovery password module.

---------------
As of now, Recovery Module alters user_pass form and hence it works at only Request new password form at url: /user/password . In case the module is not working properly, you may try:
* Clear the cache
* Reinstall the module after disable and uninstallation.
