For PHP-Nuke 7.9 For servers without mail() - Users will be activated on the spot.
Users can also request a lost pass by answering a question they set when they register, the question/answer set can later be edited through the edituser window.
A new user's data will first be stored in the users_temp table pending the activation, if the user does not click the on-screen activation link the data will expire to avoid leaving inactive accounts in your database. As a security measure you will receive a private message every time a user changes their password or if anyone tries to change a password and answers the question incorrectly.
DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk, there's no way to stop people from guessing another user's answer.
Advice your users to make the question/answer as hard to guess as possible.
