Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about HTTP Digest Authentication
The username is stored in the wp_usermeta table in plain-text. The password is stored in a two-way encryption format in the same table. It is encrypted and decrypted with the mcrypt_encrypt() and mcrypt_decrypt() functions. But I saw the plain-text password in my database That means your PHP installation doesn't have the mcrypt extension. To check if this is the case go to your <?php phpinfo(); ?> and check if there is a section called mcrypt. If there isn't one in your VPS/Dedicated server install it on Debian/Ubuntu apt-get install php5-mcrypt on Centos/Fedora yum install php5-mcrypt After installation change the password (or enter the same password in Your Profile) to encrypt it. Shared hosting users needn't worry about this as any decent host should already have this installed. Help! I forgot my HTTP Digest credentials You can find your username by executing the following MySQL query. SELECT meta_value FROM `wp_usermeta` WHERE meta_key = 'http-digest-auth_username' and user_id = (SELECT ID from wp_users where user_login = 'WordPress_Username'); Remember to replace wp_ with your actual database prefix and WordPress_Username with your login name. The password can be reset with the following query UPDATE `wp_usermeta` SET meta_value = 'password' WHERE meta_key = 'http-digest-auth_password' and user_id = (SELECT ID from wp_users where user_login = 'admin'); This will set the HTTP password to password. Login and change it immediately.
By default if you access the wp-login.php page using your HTTP credentials, only YOUR WordPress username can login. This security measure can be disabled by ticking this option.
Deactivating this plugin doesn't affect the credentials but deleting the plugin erases all HTTP user credentials leaving no trace of it in the database.
