I have just updated this master password v1.3 contribution with the readme file and gave it a v1.4 name.

NO CHANGES, just added a readme.txt file.

Complete Package.

This is a simple addition of another way of doing the Master Password - using MD5 encryption - so that the password is stored in the database encrypted and thus can't be accessed by any want to be hacker.

Feel free to use this method or the original and still perfectly good method - your choice :)

Also this is my first contribution (or rather contribution to an existing contribution - so be easy on me).

All credit should go to the original authors.

Any bugs found? Then please update and re-contribute the fix :)

ps.This uses the MySQL MD5 function, I am not sure if this will work on all MySQL versions - my SQL version is MySQL 4.0.1

Realised that the fucntion that I modified is used in more files.

You will need to edit these functions as well.

Just see the extra.security.txt for infomation, its in the last step.

This is the original package with an extra file called

"extra.security.txt"

I find this mod to be very useful & powerful so this file contains a method to add in extra security.

This security only allows 1 ip address to access accounts using the master password. This ip address is hardcoded into the code so make sure you change it when installing it.

as per usual backeverything and test on a non-live shop if possible.

If you want to you can probably create an array of ip addresses if you need multiple ones or expand the if statment to include more ip addresses.

This mod (my 3rd) will add a master password to your site which will allow you to login to any customer's account.

Possible uses include: (a) completing checkout if a customer did not return to your site from the payment processor, (b) troubleshoot a customer's account, (c) manually enter orders for existing customers, (d) ???

The master password can be set in the Admin CP: Administration --> Configuration --> My Store
