Passwords not working #9

Closed GIVENALITY closed 5 years ago

GIVENALITY commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I used the migrator and successfully moved posts as well as categories and users. However the passwords are not working from mybb. I cannot login even on the admin account.

As in the README:

Users (their passwords are ALL reset to a bcrypt hash from current time)

Mybb and Flarum don't use the same hashing method for passwords, so this means all passwords are reset.

Understood. So what are the users to do? How does the process of reset look like?

They all need to request a new password by clicking "forget password" in the login dialog

Okay. Hopefully this migration will be easier in future.

Well unfortunately there's no other way for now. The passwords will be reset nonetheless, unless MyBB changes their hashing/encrypting methodology - or flarum does. But I doubt. Mybb is using md5 which is quite old and insecure
