i am saving the users of my site via sha1, later I realized i need to have those password as well,
for me to log in (for technical support purposes)

is it possible to recover a sha1 password?

Sounds shady and completely unnecessary. There is no good reason for you to need a visitor's password. if you need to test something with their permissions etc, just make a copy of their user record and set the password to something you know and you're good.

yeah youre right, it would only break the logic why I saved the password in hashed form in the first place

Thank you for making me realize it, hehehe
