I recently upgraded to J3 and am using CBSubs GPL. Some of the 700 users on the system cannot log in, and on closer inspection it seems that it is due to the way their passwords are being encrypted.

If, for instance I manually change a users password in the Joomla users panel, it encrypts the password like this -
9a89a5fb9ea748f74cff272fb9b64861:LrF7iKKpxGM6ujFINY7mtsz9ugmQQdXl

and the user can log in successfully in the front end using the CB_login module.

If I change the password to the same thing in CB users, it encrypts like this -
b8d92492f13ba8ac0efd13b206bcbf65

and the user cannot log in.

Presumably these 2 are using different strengths of encryption and it creates a problem for me on this live site. Any suggestions?
thanks

Have tried turning strong passwords off, but if I set a password using Community Builder > User Management, it saves it as the shorter type password, and the user still cannot log in from the front end.
As far as I can see from the link you gave me, giving strong passwords a setting should have solved the problem but doesn't.

Ok, so turning it off and then on again seems to allow everything to work. With it set to off though, creating passwords in CB User Management leads to passwords being set that dont allow users to log in.
Password reset also seems to work only with the Strong Passwords setting set to ON.
cheers
