    Hey all,

    I updated site from Evolution 1.05 to 1.0.10 and now can't log in. My password had both an [ and a ] in it. I thought something was weird so I went through the "forgot password" process. I clicked link in email which logged me into manager. I then reset password with out those characters in it and login went fine. I changed password back to have a [ and a ] in it and I couldn't log back in. I definitely typed it correctly.

    My major concern is that I have several websites that each have 1000+ web users and for those sites with prexisting passwords, I know some of users will have characters that might crash login process. What files were changed that would impact login process? Is this impacted by new hash algorithms? How do I / is it possible pick the legacy algorithm to circumvent issue?

          I have tried many updates. All upgrade by 1.0.6 to 1.0.10 is wrong. Updating by 1.0.9 to 1.0.10 all works fine.

                  The last resort method is to create a new install somewhere and (after making sure you can log in to the new site) cut-and-paste all the fields for the admin user from the modx_users table of the new site to the broken one.

                  If that doesn't work, you may have a corrupted or missing file from the upgrade, especially if you used FTP to transfer the files individually. It's fairly common with FTP.
