just had a question about arcs password encryption. can you take out the normal passwords altogher does it matter at that point? or does arc still need them. I'm doing a smf integration they already use an encryption so I was going to change it to the one arc support.

but if we took out the passwords, where would people input them?

after running :

update accounts set encrypted_password = SHA(CONCAT(UPPER(login),":",UPPER(password)));

you can delete all unencrypted ones.

I am not even sure why we have plain text passwords even. They are absolutely not needed and it's pretty stupid to use them.

I believe they were implemented for the sake of simplicity - if they are to be removed the SQL query used to generate the encrypted versions of them should be clearly stated in the wiki imho!

Exactly, and that should be added to the Database setup page of the main page.

EDIT: I can take care of this later!
