As part of enhanced security for all Adobe Business Catalyst websites, the way passwords are handled in the administration area of your website has been amended.

The key changes are listed below

• All passwords are now encrypted in the administration area of your console - this means that neither you nor us can view them.
• The Lost password feature no longer will send the password in the body of the email - it will send an email to reset the password and instructions as to how this can occur. We are working our way through all our member sites to amend your standard lost password text so that this email will make sense to your members.
• Email Marketing Features will no longer allow the emailing of passwords, this has been replaced with the Reset Password feature
• Email Log in details inside your secure zones will no longer email both the username and password - this will now just email username and reset password. We are also working through all our client member sites to ensure that this text makes sense to your members.

These are changes global changes to Adobe Business Catalyst and in fact are industry standard for member based sites and the transfer of sensitive password information. It is always best that any password details are NOT sent via email.

We thank you for your patience as these changes are implemented.
