Problem:
I have a login/registration app which stores password in encrypted form on MySQL server database. I want to have no encryption in the user password for future recovery. This PHP is not made by me neither I have that expertise to edit it. If you guys can help how to remove encryption in this so that I can see password of users in database. Novice here.
P.S- I don't want users credentials for any misuse. I tried many methods of providing a password recovery system to the users but nothing worked. So I want to keep password visible to me in database so that if someone request for his/her password I should be able to provide them.
