Accounts/Password gets overwritten
« on: September 08, 2006, 02:45:37 PM »

Hi, this is a followup on my previous note. As mentioned, I created a user and wanted creting an account for that user. It did not verify. I rechecked the account and noticed that the passwords got also overwritten with some much longer string than that I used.

Thanks.

That's nornal. It is explained somewhere that for safety reason your password is masked that way.

roger is correct that is the normal behaviour to store the password as an md5 instead of plain text for a small sense of security.  The password bug dealing with the leading zero should be gone in the 2.12 release.

Thanks...
