Getting account password and username

[GhostXoP]

There is a function for getting an accounts name, how can i get its password?

[Tete omar]

There's no function called

getAccountPassword 

because it's an illegal thing when you get the people account passwords.

if you already know the account name and password then use:

getAccount("name","password")

I can get the account easily. From the server, (My server, containing their passwords) how can i, The server, Not the Player, THE SERVER, get CLIENT passwords?

[Tete omar]

Maybe you meant this: ?

getServerPassword 

if not , then explain better

English isn't your main language i assume, which is fine as long as you understand what i'm getting at.

Ok How about this

getAccount SERVERSIDE (as its only available serverside -.-)

It says password is optional, but required. It says if its not specified i can still get the account whatever the password is. otherwise the password must match the account.

That makes no sense what so ever. Is it optional toward the server or not.

what?

[GhostXoP]

Exactly.

Is the Password argument in getAccount Optional or not.

[Castillo]

Yes, it is, you can use it to check if the password is correct.

[GhostXoP]

Thank you. That explains its purpose.

@GhostXoP

Perhaps, but you don't have their passwords. You only have a hashed password which you'd have to unhash to get it, but I think MTA uses much better hashing algorithm than the usual MD5...
