Hello community,
I have just migrated a prestashop 1.6 installation to prestashop 1.7.
I noticed that some users cannot login anymore. Their credentials don't fit anymore.
A quick look into the databases reveals, that the old user's passwords are hashed by MD5 and the newly registered users use another algorhitm.
Since hashes are what they are, there could have been no way to "convert" the passwords to the new hashing scheme, alright.
And MD5 is not secure, and thus changed, alright, I get it. But:
What is the official suggestion to tackle this?
What do other merchantes do to ensure that all the users can log in?
I cannot be the first person who migrated and encountered this problem - yet I haven't found much official information.
Cheers,
Pat
