I would like to discuss the changes to password hashing in Drupal 10.1.0. I fear that some site owners will find themselves locked out of their sites.

From Slack (private channel):

I am ... worried about ... a site administrator who

  • uninstalls phpass for whatever reason
  • uninstalls it from a config import
  • neglects to execute database updates

Or maybe

  • Some update function throws an exception and phpass is never enabled.

References:

  1. Password Compatibility module (new core module)
  2. Password hashing was changed (change record)
  3. #3352094: Notify users that they need to reset their password when it matches an unsupported hash type

Follow-up to #3: here is another scenario.

As a site admin, I check the available updates. I see that 10.1.0 has been released and I decide to upgrade the next day. I log out and get a good night's sleep.

The next day, I update the code and log in so that I can run updates ... except that my password is rejected.

Possible solutions:

  1. Get a one-time login link from Drush or the UI.
  2. Set $settings['update_free_access'] in settings.php.
  3. Downgrade to 10.0.9.

Are there other options? How do we communicate them?
