Localwp - Instructions on how to change a default MD5 password to bcrypt.

Open Danmyrer opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Added instructions on how to change a default Local MD5 password to bcrypt.

New users may not be aware that bedrock uses a different encryption than WordPress by default. When using Local the initial WordPress-password is encrypted using MD5.

Thanks for the PR, but this shouldn’t be necessary?

Thank you for the Reply! I thought so too, but after installing bedrock with Local I encountered the same problem. You should be able to replicate it by following the guide.

It could be that Local handles passwords a bit different to enable features like one-click-admin; An explanation would probably need further investigation.

Just tried two fresh Bedrock installs on the latest version of Local and macOS and wasn't able to run into this issue. Happy to revisit if others are running into this
