Well the reason there is quite simple, you should be storing it as a string, not an integer.

pawn Код:

dini_Set(file,"Password", inputtext);

Although I would like to stress that storing non-hashed passwords is a serious security flaw, your players would not be happy about their password being stored in plain text for anyone with access to use. With this said, udb_hash (Adler32) is not a reliable hashing method. You should use a method such as Whirlpool.

I understand. I will revert back to use "udb hash". I thought it would be quite a simple way of helping people if they had forgotten their passwords ingame.

If people forget their password, you don't send it back to them, because you shouldn't be able to. Have you ever seen a decent site with a password recovery function that actually sends back your real password?

Simply because they shouldn't be able to since it's hashed, they always either generate a new one and send you that, or else make you set a new one yourself. If you want to reset people's passwords, just generate a new one for them, hash it and store it in their file.
