In Sage 100 Contractor 19.8 I used to be able to go into the Utilities for User Security and check if I wanted to view the user passwords or not., Now in Sage 100 Contractor 2017 Version 20.5.146.0 you don't have the option to do that. As an administrator and the one who issues passwords, I need to know the passwords. I didn't keep a list because I could always look before if I needed to. Now I can't. I would like this option back again. Thanks, Debbie Bonelli

Hi Debbie, With SQL (v20 and later), the passwords are no longer "held" at all by the Sage 100 Contractor program. This adds greater security to the system overall. If your employees are using Windows Authentication to log into Sage 100 Contractor, they would just need to change the normal Windows password--what they type in when they log into their computer. If you are using SQL Server Authentication, and an employee subsequently forgets their SQL Server password, you can reset it in the 7-2-2 User list window. You cannot see passwords after entering and saving them. If you have any questions, please email me at denise.johnson@sage.com
