Hi
today a user reset his password in Joomla and after that was not able to access his course in moodle.
After some investigation on moodle database I found that the user table in moodle has changed in the following way:
- a new record has been created for the user as if the user has neve accessed moodle
- the old user record has been logically deleted, the email field has been replaced with a complex string (1a613b93c5f1890079d6a24f69707340) and the username field has been replaced with the user email followed by a timestamp (1486978698)

This make impossible for the user to review his quiz results, his forum posts and so on

His there any reason for this behavior?

Thank you for your support

Hi Claudio.

Thanks for the report. I will try to replicate it soon and get back to you. I will take some time, as I am currently traveling with very limited Internet connectivity.

Hi.

I tried but could not replicate your problem. Please try to replicate it yourself with a test user, and then let me know the steps.
Also you can look at moodle logs, in case some other operation happened, not related to the password reset.
