title: how do i retrieve the original plaintext password of a hashed password
body: <p>I have gone through many articles and they all dicuss/advice how to convert a plain text password in to a hashed password and store in the database.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, if the plain text password is hashed and stored in the database then how do i retrieve the original plaintext password if the user forgets the password ?</p>
  
  <p>Ours is not a financial application like banking which requires very high security. Also my application demands us, to some extent to, to login and check the user account. Is there any way to do this, if we start storing the passwords by hashing them? </p>
