Retrieve login credentials

[vector39]

Hi everyone

So I've constructed a database with a classic login form. I'm happy to say the form works fine. If the username and passwords don't match, an Invalid Username/Password error message is displayed. But I'd like to go one step further. The database itself is relatively simple in design. I'm just wondering, how would I set up a procedure for users who forget their login credentials? An option (e.g. Forgot Username/Password?) if you will. I'm sure this might be more complicated than anticipated but if anyone has any suggestions or anything, like always, that would be much appreciated!

Password could be done with an email, having the system send out an email to the user. That of course would require it to be stored with user name. User name would be trickier, as you'd need some way of them identifying themselves. Presuming you had email, I suppose they could enter their email address and you could look up the user name associated with that address and email it to them.

Thank you. I will look into this!
