Unable to login after Update from 2.08 to 2.1

Same problem for me.
Can’t login after upgrade to 2.1

After reset passwords, everything is ok now. I can login to Modx 2.1.

I can’t reproduce any of these problems on upgrade. My users can still login with their existing passwords. I also cannot reproduce Reset Password (I assume on the Manager Login form) to set a plain text password. It uses whatever method the existing user is hashed with, which will be md5 in the case of legacy users from 2.0.x installs.

Clearing the browser cookies (not only the cache) after updating to 2.1 possibly solve this issue.

I, too, am running into this exact same issue

I have filed the bug report here: http://bugs.modx.com/issues/4892

very dirty hack (but working):

use the old
/core/model/modx/processors/security/login.php (from modx 2.08)

I can confirm this hack works to get you logged into to MODx 2.1.0-pl (as stated above)...however, simply clearing your site’s cookies should be all it takes.

1. Use the 2.0.8 login processor (path above)

NOTE: Changing modx_users.hash_class value is not required...in fact, if you do this, subsequent Password Reset attempts via "Profile > Reset Password (tab)" seem to otherwise fail.

I went through the password reset process, and I was then able to continue logging in without issue or risk of plain text password in the database (?) ...this was all via Firefox, using the 2.0.8 login processor.

Then, I logged out, replaced "login.php" with the 2.1.0 version, and I was still able to login!

...this seemed a bit confusing, because the modx_user record looked identical prior to my success using the 2.0.8 processor.

Thinking all had been solved, I then attempted to login from a different browser instance (Chrome), only to be met with the same issue as before Reviewing my cookies on this browser, I saw only one PHPSESSID cookie, so I cleared it. On my next attempt, everything was working as expected!

I then repeated this test in a third browser (Safari), and saw the issue again. A simple check for existing cookie (PHPSESSID) and a quick "remove cookie" later, and I was logged in without issue.

While I cleared my cache and logged out of the MODx Manager prior to the 2.1.0 upgrade, I never actually deleted any cookies (specifically those related to PHP session). There is good reason to follow the recommended instructions, because I believe this issue could otherwise have been avoided. Admittedly, I find it odd that the login refuses to complete successfully under this scenario, but it seems everyone’s advice of simply clearing the cookies is all it takes

I had the same problem on one upgrade, but not a second upgrade (got a few more to go!! )- both use the same host and have all same settings except packages that are installed are different. When I couldn’t log in I tried the installation process again and then I could log in. Kept me from dorking with inner works so give re-installing a try as well!
