I switched our site to English and used the "forget password" option. The result is the same. Moderators receive an english notification with the password of the user. In the language file is no [password] field, but some strings:

Ihr neues Passwort ist: %s\n\n

Unfortunately moderators receive also copies of the new-password-mails the system sends to users when they forgot their passwords and ask for new ones. Because this doesn't make any sense, I conclude that this must be a bug of the new CB version. Am I right?


Please post a copy of the english message sent to moderators when a user requests a new password.

Here the english message:

The user account USER has this email associated with it.
A web user from URL has just requested that a new password be sent.

Your New Password is: PASSWORD

If you didn't ask for this, don't worry. You are seeing this message, not them. If this was an error just log in with your new password and then change your password to what you would like it to be.

Yes, this looks like CB email message sent to user requesting new password.

However in my tests (CB 1.7/J 1.7) is is not sent to moderators.
Have you made any changes on your end?

Strange thing. No, we didn't make any changes to the program code of CB.
