Technote Details :: Password encryption issues
Issue
I have a login form created with MX User Login, and in the InterAKT control panel I have checked the Encrypt password option. Now it always tells me invalid password.
Reason
This happens because the column storing the user password in the database table is not set to allow a sufficient number of characters. In order to be able to store encrypted passwords in the database, the respective column must be set to be a character type column, with a minimum length of 32 characters. If the field length is less than 32, the above error message occurs, as the password is not stored correctly.
Solution
In order to get password encryption to work, you must alter the password's column length, and set it to a value more or equal to 32. This way, the entire password will be stored in the table column, and will be validated correctly.
If the table cannot be altered in any manner, password encryption will not function.
