Automatic Change The Hash

    Hi
    I tried this plugin on a local site that uses PHP 7.4, but this plugin does not change the default hash used by WordPress for user passwords, I have to change the password first to change the hash contained in the database.

    How do I get this plugin to change the default hash used by WordPress, to a hash that is defined by your plugin automatically without changing the user password manually?

    My wordpress is the latest WordPress version
    Thank you

    Hi @mushlih,
    User password hashes are updated when the user logs into the web site, or when the user changes the password. This is by design, because the plugin cannot obtain the original password until the user types in the correct password.

    This plugin works by hooking into the user login process, and validating the password against the new password hashing algorithm, or the WordPress’s default one. If the password is correct, and if the current algorithm is not what the plugin is configured with, it updates the password right then, because the plugin has access to the original password. It cannot bulk-update existing password hashes.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Ayesh.
