I’m writing a very simple login system for a Rails app. I’m using RESTful authentication. It’s a fairly conventional setup, where I’m sending the email and password to authenticate the user.

Here, I used REMEMBER ME?, if same user again wanna login then by using cookie, user can re-login. Now thing is like, I want to print email and password in its respective text-box. Email is inserted into the textbox but I am facing a problem to show password in text-field.

At the time of login, such condition is used

@person.password_hash == BCrypt::Engine.hash_secret(@password, @person.password_salt)

How can I get my password in text form?

    After a lot of searching the web, I found that BCrypt::Engine.hash_secret is one-way encryption of password. This means there is no way to reverse the process. So if you are trying to make password text from BCrypt::Engine.hash_secret, you cannot do it.
