I have the passwords encrypted with MD5

I preregistered users with passwords encryption turned on and set up 8 character passwords.

Some users changed their password. A couple of people used 10 characters.

When they attempted to log back on they couldn't. I just thought they forgot their password. But then I walked a person through changing the member password using 10 characters. Couldn't log back in. However, if the person only typed in the first 8 characters, could log in fine.

Hmm.


In ProfileEdit.pl, search for:

Code
          if(length($FORM{'newpw'}) > 8) { &error($profiletxt[85]); }


Replace with:

Code
          if(length($FORM{'newpw'}) > $pwlength) { &error($profiletxt[85]); }


Then go to their member center and try to change their password.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

eh-hem...

The change password in the profile, after making the above change, only allows 8 characters.

I'm only waiting for an answer since you said it should make it longer... and it doesn't

Hmm.  Are you sure you encrypted to MD5?  Make sure you can't go and "encrypt" again.


yes, i cannot encrypt again, (greyed out box).

tried code above, same thing, tried changing 8 to 10 and still limited to 8 (also tried less than sign).

Okay.

Both of you find Settings.pl (in the Blah directory) and look in the file (remember to download in ASCII) and search for:

Code
####### 	 MODS 	 #######
$yabbconver = 1;
$encryption = 2;


Tell me what those values are, please.  It should be the way it is there (DO NOT change them if it IS NOT though).

Then I'll go and look further into the code ... sorry about these problems.    Hopefully they can be solved soon.

Hmmmmm ... sorry about this.

Hope this works.

In ProfileEdit.pl, search for:

Code
 size="25" maxlength="8"


Replace with:

Code
 size="25" maxlength="$pwlength"


This should change it to work right.  If not I'll look more.  I'm really ready for this XHTML stuff to be finished so all these bug fixes can be fixed on the spot.
