How to display password and actkey?

How would you go about displaying the users password and actkey on the member.php page? I know I can use "echo" to display variables, but I am not sure how to pull the password and actkey from the "users" table to created decrypted text.

Assuming you are talking about VBulletin, I don't believe you can actually display a users password. I think when they are put into the database they are encrypted with md5 encryption, and when checking passwords they just md5 the entered one and compare it.

Not sure though, as it has been quite a while since I have worked with Vbulletin. I'm also not sure about the actkey. Hope that somewhat helped.

If you are talking about Vbulletin, then the best place to go would be Vbulletin's own support forums, surely?

If you are talking about our membership scripts, then it is unfortunately impossible to de-encode the password once it has been MD5 encrypted. You can retrieve the authcode quite simply, though, my pulling it from the mySQL database. This basic tutorial on mySQL functions will help you: http://www.biorust.com/tutorials/detail/101/en/

Why would you be interested in your users passwords? That is secret information.
