I hate to say it but upgrade to version 1.4.21 right this instant.

This explains why

There are some nasties about that think it is great fun to destroy other peoples work and by not upgrading you are letting them have their fun. It is not a matter of if but a matter of when you will get hacked

There is no upper limit on the length of user passwords. I don't understand what the problem is.

When you set the password the first time, there is perhaps no limit, but when I try to change the password already set in the admin interface, the length limit is 8 caracters... !

I see. There's a password reset option directly in usermgr.php. I didn't even know that exists. Sorry. Just edit the maxlength out

Find

Code Select Expand


<input type="text" name="new_password" value="{$lang_usermgr_php['password']}" size="8" maxlength="8" class="textinput" onfocus="this.value='';" style="display:none" />


change to

Code Select Expand


<input type="text" name="new_password" value="{$lang_usermgr_php['password']}" size="8" class="textinput" onfocus="this.value='';" style="display:none" />


Alternatively, edit the user using the "e" button.
