The email-verification roundtrip which is required to create a new login, or

creating an account and updating a password will also be reflected in the

this cancels the advantage of stronger password hashing which django's built-in

For the large majority of users, who either didn't have a password hash in
70+
the database before the transition to the Python/Django based database
71+
frontend on 16 July 2010, or had a password hash in the database, but have
72+
updated their password after 3 July 2012, there should be no impact.
73+
Password hashes have been imported as needed from the http auth password

hash file. The few who had a password hash in the system before 16 July
75+
2010, and haven't updated their password since 3 July 2012 are encouraged to
76+
set a new password using the password reset form at

If there are issues which prevent a password reset, please email
