You don't have the plaintext password in your database, so you cannot implement a "remind me of my password" function.
An even better way is to simply reset the password, sending them the new password and an urgent request to change it ASAP. No worry about needing to keep a plaintext copy around... so you can implement the one way md5 checksum as tilly suggested. cp ---- "Never be afraid to try something new.
