#1641 closed enhancement (fixed)

Use bcrypt for storing passwords instead of MD5

Description (last modified by Nicklas Nordborg)

This ticket replaces #1640. See http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/ for some background information.

We'll need to remove the 'Encrypt password' feature of the web client. We recommend that HTTPS is used if protection is needed.

To be able to upgrade an existing server we should store bcrypt(MD5(password)). Since we already have the MD5(password) stored the upgrade is simple.

This is now implemented in the core and web client and seems to be working good. The update script has not yet been fixed so upgrading will not work.
