    so where do we put in feature requests on the git and can you please
    plut it on the wiki and the website? thanks


    also i think the password emailer should not ask for the user's email address because that fucks me up because i use email aliases and i cant remember them.
    :D

    thanks!

    It's the link in the second paragraph at https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support

    Then how would you know where to check/read that email with the password? The idea of user authentication is to get as much info from the user as possible without (or before) giving the user any personally-identifying info (like an email address).

    i would just check all my emails.
    i create aliases so i have no idea what alias i used is a long time ago.
    also a lot of times these systems don't send welcome emails or even
    have email addresses that work.

    the user as possible without (or before) giving the user any personally-identifying info (like an email address).

    can't it just shoot off an email if the users requests a password?
    that's what my pw emailer does. it's not hurting anything. it's not resetting a pw. it doesnt have to SHOW the email address to the requester. it can just send it and disconnect.
