Emailpassword Action Documentation
This is the documentation page for the Emailpassword action.
Once the planned 'autodoc' feature for actions is "live", this page will contain the automatically-generated documentation by just including an action; for now, I've just manually created the text.

This action does not accept a parameter.Long description
The action generates an input field in which users can write their WikiName. If s/he has entered a valid registered email adress, an email with the following text should arrive:Hi, <username>. You or someone else requested that we send a temporary password to login to WikkaTestWiki. If you did not request this, disregard this email. -- No action is necessary. -- Your password will stay the same. Your wikiname: <username> Temporary password: <md5 hash of the password> <address of the wiki> Do not forget to change the password immediately after logging in.
The password provided is the encryption of the users original password. It is possible to log-in with this password, but, as mentioned in the email, a user should change their password after the login.
Usage:
{{emailpassword}}Example:
Password reminder
