Password Recovery Plugin for Roundcube
======================================

[](#password-recovery-plugin-for-roundcube)

Plugin that adds functionality so that a user can create a new password if the original is lost.

To restore the password, the user is asked a secret question, and/or a confirmation code is sent to an additional email address and SMS to the phone.

It is recommended that you use the "SMSTools" package to send SMS.

When checking and saving a new password, the password is encrypted using the MD5-Crypt method. The password is written directly to the Postfix database (mailbox table).

The Password plugin can also be used when configured accordingly.

### Install

3. Rename 'config.inc.php.dist' to 'config.inc.php'
