[Koha-devel] User password reset question

[Jonathan Druart]

Hi Stephen,

You need to hash it before, takes a look at members/member-password.pl
In master, it will be something like:

my $digest = Koha::AuthUtils::hash_password( $new_password );
Koha::Patrons->find( $borrowernumber )->update_password($uid, $digest);

The method is badly named as it could also update the user id (login).

Or hash it first then use a SQL query:
UPDATE borrowers set password=? WHERE borrowernumber=?

Let me know if you need something more precise.

Regards,
Jonathan
