this will not change any value in the database, you will need to recover host password and reset all other passwords.

How is the support for Hashed passwords? I have found here on he forum that storing passwords Hashed means the password retrieval etc will not work. Does anyone know if there has been any changes for better support for hashed passwords?

(The hashed format is one-way so passwords stored that way can not be recovered, you can just replace them with a new password, but then you need the software support for this, for generating new passwords etc).

The reason I ask is that I am porting two sites which have passwords hashed. If I could import these, then the users would not need new passwords. Otherwise i will have to make a couple of thousand users change passwords......

With the DNN version 4.5.5, I get an error message if I change the the web.config password format from Encrypted to Hashed in. Who knows something about this?

It should be possible to have the login code convert passwords from hashed to encrypted:

Scenario:

  1. Admin imports external accounts with hashed passwords to the database. Set a flag marking the password as hashed.
  2. User logs on. The login code checks the flag and sees the password is hashed, so tests the provided password accordingly
  3. If the user authenticates: the provided password is encrypted DNN style and stored it in the DB password field
  4. Change the password flag in the DB from hashed to encrypted

Required: Code for hashing provided password
