Solution 1

LightSwich passwords are encrypted. This means that, in line with security best practices, they cannot be reversed, so it is not possible to resupply the password to the user. What you do, instead, is send a link to the email address the user was registered against, with a random password (also updating the password in the database). The user can then reset their password once they have successfully registered with this random password.
