I am using a wordpress site. I just want to know , How to get a plain text from encrypted password(stored in wordpress database). I used the $wp_hasher->CheckPassword($plain_password, $password_hashed) to check the password is correct or not. But this time i would like to know how to get plain text.
You will not be able to retrieve a plain text password from wordpress.
WordPress use a 1 way encryption to store the passwords using a variation of md5. There is no way to reverse this.
