passwords

I'm writing my own code similar to phpMyAdmin. But I'll need the user to be able to sign on using their username and password from the mysql database. I need to know what kind of hash the mysql database uses to store each users password. I checked dev.mysql.com for answers but couldnt find anything, other than its the newer 41 byte hash beginning with an *. I don't think you will be able to decrypt password stoed in MySQL table and it's of no use using password which is stored in mysql . user table. You should be using password that is being set when User is created in your application, If you

This is weird: if i login to my application, ask firefox to save the username/password. Then log out and go back to the login screen, firefox fills in the password inside the username input field, thus rendering it visible! Any idea what could cause the problem? Here is the html of my form, although i've checked it 10 zillion times. <form action="<?php echo WWWROOT ?>login/" autocomplete="on" method="post" name="extranetLoginForm" id="extranetLoginForm" > <ul id="formlog"> <li id="liloginfield"> <label for="loginfield" id="loginfieldlab"><span class="required"> <img alt="user-icon" src="<?php

On Ubuntu 14.04 I creating user with disabled password like: sudo adduser --disabled-password myuser I need to do same with Ansible user module --disabled-password Similiar option in Ansible documentation is missing.

The default is to disable the password. This is exactly what is needed by

I need to implement password security with various flexible requirements. The requirements are essentially taken from the Sans password policy : Strong passwords have the following characteristics: Contain at least three of the five following character classes: Lower case characters Upper case characters Numbers Punctuation “Special” characters (e.g. @#$%^&*()_+|~-=`{}[]:";'<>/ etc) Contain at least fifteen alphanumeric characters. There are also requirements of not allowing the users email address to appear in the password. Ideally, I would like a gem that would handle this - it would be more

Im being unable to set an empty password for a MySQL connection pool from the GUI in glassfish 4. In previous versions of glassfish it used to work by simply putting "()" without the quotes. It doesnt work anymore for me in glassfish 4. By the way, I've been googling my issue with any luck. Does anyone know what is the proper way to do it in glassfish 4? Thanks in advance for you support Regards What I did to fix this was to manually in /glassfish/domains/(yourDomainName)/domain.xml add the following property to the connection pool: <property name="password" value=""></property> Remember to

I have looked a bit into cryptography and related matters during the last couple of days and am pretty confused by now. I have a question about password strength and am hoping that someone can clear up my confusion by sharing how they think through the following questions. I am becoming obsessed about these things, but need to spend my time otherwise :-) Let's assume we have an eight-digit password that consists of upper and lower-case alphabetic characters, numbers and common symbols. This means we have 96^8 ~= 7.2 quadrillion different possible passwords. As I understand there are at least
