    no passwords

    Hi

    I'm very happy that I have been able to use Vbullletin, but I have a problem:

    I've imported users from discus, but the passwords didn't get imported. I knew that, but what I didn't know was that users were allowed to login WITHOUT password. How can I stop this???

    users should not be able to login without a password.

    Users should need to reset their passwords before they are able to login via

    login.php?do=lostpw

      Well, a user told me about it and I checked a random profil. I got in.
      Anyway I can prevent this ?

                Confirmed. However this means that the import was not done correctly since passwords should have been imported:



                I suggest redoing the import.

                  The only way that could happen is if the discuss user file was diffrent and a blank string was imported, I would also advise redoing the import, or setting all of them to a random string to force the user to update the password.

                    The funny thing is that if you check the Mysql all the fields are set with some code

                      Thats probally going to be MD5 hash of the salt and a blank field, which is why you can login with a blank password, i.e. thats what was imported, a blank password.

                      Try logging in with a random string opposed to a blank password.

                      This will force them all to change the password.

                      PHP Code:
                      UPDATE user SET password='a8305446bf6faca25b8163335b56b03b' WHERE userid != 1
                      That's if your admin user is userid 1 and there arn't any other users in there that is !
