Configuring Your Site<br />

Protect usernames<br />

If you forget your password, <strong>Moodle</strong> can display a page that enables you to retrieve<br />

it. If you enter your username or e-mail address, <strong>Moodle</strong> will send an e-mail with<br />

your login information to the e-mail address for that user:<br />

When <strong>Moodle</strong> sends this e-mail, it confirms that the e-mail has been sent but does<br />

not display the e-mail to which the message was sent:<br />

The e-mail address is hidden to protect the user's privacy. Many countries have<br />

laws that forbid the disclosure of personal information. If someone could guess a<br />

usernames (which is often the case in large institutions), they could enter them into<br />

the lost password page and harvest the e-mail addresses for abuse.<br />
