Warning: Password checking and PWD control 0.1.0

10 years 2 months ago - 10 years 2 months ago #1 by geoffc
With the implementation of PHPass in Joomla 2.5.18 and Joomla 3.2.x to improve password encryption Password Control System Plugin Release 0.1.0 (and earlier) will not work correctly. It will be necessary to disable the password control system plugin until such time as the update is made available.

We are in the process of modifying the plugin to handle the new mechanism and will release an update shortly. Hopefully later today.

Problems are likely to be seen for any password changes that occur after Joomla 2.5.18 has been installed since the move to use the new methods happen automatically when a password is changed.

The Front end User Edit Profile screen has changed in Joomla 2.5.18 and now matches that in Joomla 3.2.2, with the result that the Password Generator button is no longer seen in the Front end. The code wil be changed to reflect the new layout structure.

The update will disable the database password checking routines and rely solely upon the PHP implimentation until such time as we we have determined whether the database routine can be rewritten.

Update 15:00:00 Code changed and undergoing testing.
Update 14/02/2014 Now released.
