Purpose of the Mod

To warn users about the lack of password encryption on the TNG New Account Registration Page. The warning (which is defined as a language string) is displayed if the Account Registration page is not encrypted. Note that, even if the site supports encryption, if the site does not force encryption, the Account Registration page might be unencrypted.

Compatibility With Other Mods

Not compatible with New Account Form Mod.

Custom Text

The following strings is defined in the English and English-UTF8 versions of cust_text.php.This text is placed to the right of the two password fields

$text['rrnaw-warning'] = "This registration form <b>is not securely encrypted</b>, so don't use a password that you use anywhere else.";
$text['rrnaw-warning'] .= "And don't just add a suffix to a standard password; use something completely different.";

If you want to modify this message, you must redefine it at the bottom of your cust_text.php file. Do not edit these lines in the cust_text.php file, for that will cause a Mod Manager "Bad Target" error.

Revision History

Mod Version	TNG Version	Date	Note
12.0.0.4c	12.0+	15 May 2018	Got rid of the %textexists processing that was needed in TNGv12 Changed both target locations to accommodate minor changes in the underlying TNG code. Places the message in a third column of the password form field rows instead of on its own row after the password field. Checks for the HTTPS protocol before displaying the message, allowing the mod to be installed even on sites where HTTPS is possible
12.0.0.4c	12.0-12.3	11 Nov 2018	Applied a %textexists condition to accommodate an underlyin change in TNGv12.2
9.2.2.4	9.2.2+	21 Feb 2016	Moved the functionality that deals with additional required fields and form validation to the New Account Validation mod. Now uses Show Mod Names (but does not depend on it).
9.2.2.0	9.2.2 - 10.0.2	30 Apr 2014	Initial Release
