strange problem: passwords strangely reset and updates lost
Hello,
I have noticed that a number of my sites which are built on Version: 4.0 Build: 4.0.3328 have had their passwords automatically reset and changes to the site since go-live were lost.

This is very odd and worrisome. Any idea what could cause this ?
thanks

RE:strange problem: passwords strangely reset and updates lost
Hi,

I’m sorry but, I do not understand this issue from your short description. Are you trying to say that the all of the user passwords have been reset? There is no way that Kentico CMS resets all of the passwords just like that. Could you please try to describe me this issue in more detail way (please be more specific about the updates)?

However, you are not using up-to-date version of Kentico CMS. Following bug was fixed in hotfix package 4.0.1:

Security - password stored in plain text and not in SHA1

Best regards,
Miroslav Remias.
