• Auto-generation of email with username and random password on creation of new user 1 answer

My task is to do the following in Alfresco:

you have 2 ways to do something like that

Solution 1 : encrypte/decrypt it (it's a two ways working method) that mean that if you use an algorithme to encrypte it someone can use the same to decrypt your password.

Solution 2 : Hash it that's a one way method that mean if you hash your password no one even you can get the original password, the most well known method to Hash password is sha256
