Go back to legacy password login

[TeeJokey]

Hello everyone!

We just updated our forum to vB 5 connect and we just bumped into the new password system with blowfish.

Our website, as many others, is divided in which we call 2 main parts: publication (with news, articles, reviews, etc.) and forum.

The publication is programmed in the old fashiond ASP 3.0. So for getting the users to be able to post comments on our news and reviews at the publication what I did is replicate the vBs login system in ASP 3.0 against the forum's mysql database and so far it was working great.

The problem is that now with this blowfish system I really don't know how it works internally and therefore I'm not able to replicate it in ASP 3.0. Our users are unable to log in from the publication and comments don't work anymore.

If anyone can explain me how the new algorithm works I would really appreciate it but the best solution would be to be able to keep using vB 5 and force all users, including admins, to be back to legacy passwords. Is there any way of doing that.

Best Regards.
