[pmwiki-users] How to add a read password field to the edit form

[Vince Administration]

Lars,
Somewhat related, Hans helped me create a recipe that would add an  
edit password basically of
id:$AuthUser  when creating a profile page.
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/FoxPageManagement
The key is a small php program that adds the password before saving.

PHP isn't really so hard if you have enough examples close to what  
you want to do.
