[wp-forums] WORG account problem

[Mar Ventus]

Hi Esmi,
If the user remembers his old password or part of it, you could check that
against the account's actual password see if they match.
Also, if IP addresses are verified or stored upon account creation and/or
log in, you could see if his IP matches the one you have on record.
Hope this  helps.
