# Password Field The password field is automatically hashed with the default algorithm that is configured in TYPO3. The hashed password is saved to the table `tx_powermail_domain_model_answers`. It is possible to deactivate hashing with an EventListener listening to `MailFactoryBeforePasswordIsHashedEvent` and setting the property `passwordShouldBeHashed` to true. In all Mails you can access the original value with the placeholder {passwordfieldname_originalValue}. In the Finisher `SaveToAnyTableFinisher` you can use the field `passwordfieldname_originalValue` in the typoscript configuration and the plaintext password will be saved to the table. In your own Finisher you can use the field `passwordfieldname_originalValue` to do whatever you want to do with the plaintext value. ## Restoring the old (insecure) behaviour If you want to restore the old behaviour, to store the password in plaintext, you can apply the following changes. ### 1. Change Typoscript This changes are all based upon the default configuration of powermail, if you have your own configuration applied you should change it accordingly. ``` plugin.tx_powermail.settings.setup { excludeFromPowermailAllMarker { receiverMail { excludeFromFieldTypes > } senderMail { excludeFromFieldTypes > } optinMail { excludeFromFieldTypes > } } } ``` ### 2. Integrate an Event Listener ``` getAnswer()->getValueType() === Answer::VALUE_TYPE_PASSWORD) { $event->setPasswordShouldBeHashed(false); } } } ``` ### 3. Add EventListener to services.yaml ``` services: Vendor\Ext\EventListener\DontHashPasswordEventListener: tags: - name: 'event.listener' identifier: 'vendor-ext/dont-hash-password' method: 'dontHash' ``` After this changes the password will be stored in plaintext again in the answer table.
