Re: [mv] Setting a users password without being logged in
using the [data area field key "value" * increment*] tag (as mention in the
docs) and the [export database file*type*] tag you can force updates of the
user's password in the database (I think!) and then export the database to it's
source file to make the update.
If this actually works (which it very well may not) you should be very careful
generating random passwords with minivend (or even generating random password
lists and then reading them from a file with minivend) for security reasons.
