Password in user approval mail

Password in user approval mail was created by TheoSp
I want next to user details to have displayed the password in the registration approved mail to the user.
The data are in 'YOUR_REGISTRATION_IS_APPROVED_MESSAGE'.
But when I add [password] it gives no value.
Could you please add this feature, because user may not have his confirm mail anymore in which the password stands.

Thanks, Theo

You can't include the password in the user approval message. By then it is encrypted and can not be reversed. It can only be included in the Pending email, but again depending on configure it may be encrypted as well. In short it's bad practice to email passwords unless they were randomly generated and the user couldn't possibly know it.

Thank you.
User receives the password in the confirm mail (pending mail), so why not in the approval mail.
When user receives the approval mail, which may take several days after confirmation because of administering payments, user may not find the confirm mail anymore and can't login.
So it's a bit a lack.

The pending email is sent the same time they are registering and at that time the password is still available ans cleartext. The user approval email is sent after registration has completed and after a moderator approves them, which by then the password is encrypted and no longer available in cleartext. What you are asking for is impossible and to store passwords in cleartext to provide what you're asking for is a massive security vulnerability. If they forget their password they should use the forgot login link in your CB Login Module.
