I have the secure password mod installed. How do I make sure the e-mail address used for it is the same one entered in the database records in the e-mail field?

You do not allow the user to enter an email address. Make the field a hidden field on your form. Then use the get_email subroutine that is included in the mod.

Hello,
When you say, "Make the field a hidden field on your form," what do you mean? Do you mean making it a type=HIDDEN or do you mean setting it as -1 in the cfg file?
Thank you -- sorry to be so naive
Should there be TWO email fields -- one for public display and one just for the .pass file? I'm confused on how this should behave, if I'm a record owner and am adding or updating my info. Thanks for any help!

No, there should not be two fields. Here is what you do:
1) In sub html_record_form, after
my (%rec) = @_;
ADD
$rec{'Email'} = &get_email;
}
Make sure that you change the field,"Email" to your field name for the email field in the default.cfg file.
2) Then you add a HIDDEN field like the following:
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Eliot...I believe I've got this figured out. I wanted to have the email address HIDDEN so users didn't try to change them on the modification form (they should use the change email address form instead); yet I wanted them to be able to see their email adresses as well. So now I just print out the value of the email address right after the hidden field.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your help!
Glad it works.
