I want to make a template with list of users on a website (for administration purposes). I want do display the login and password for each user. The login is easy to fetch - but the password is stored as a hash string. Is it a way to translate a hash string to show the real password in a template?
contentobject_id string 148 login string 'fivh-bergen' email string 'fivh-b@online.no' password_hash string 'a8ee045d6ffca9b31a5e1b68f4555e38' password_hash_type string 2

Bjørn,
you cannot show the real password in the template. It's not available for security reasons.
If you want to use plaintext passwords you need to change the HashType in site.ini:
HashType=plaintext
If you change the password hash it will only affect newly created accounts, since there is no way (except brute force) to get the password from the hash.
