    AuthorizeUpgrade - can't login

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Trying to manually update a 7.5.3 site to 7.6 - and gets to the AuthorizeUpgrade screen - after merging and copying files.

    BUT my normal username/password is just giving me a:

    Login failed for user .... (my username)

    What am I missing??

    It's a SQL CE installation - very very simple site.

    I got the same problem. The console complains about this URL: /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Authentication/PostLogin

    400 Bad Request...

    MS SQL, very very simple site. ;)

    The log says that the user is locked, but the record in the SQL tells me differently.

    Have you checked whether the useLegacyEncoding setting in the web.config has been changed to false?

    It's a breaking change that should only affect new installations, but maybe it has changed your existing ones as well?

    For reference, the change means that passwords are hashed using more secure algorithms, but the newly generated hash would no longer match the password hash stored in the existing database which could be why you can no longer log in.

    Aha, thanks! So by resetting the passwords instead of changing the setting, would also do the trick?

    Yes, that would the other option: resetting the password will save your new password using the new hash and the login should work again afterwards.

    Note that this does apply to all users, so if you have many CMS users or members they would all need to be reset.

    In /web.config:

        <!-- Membership Provider -->
<membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider, Umbraco" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="10" useLegacyEncoding="true" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member" passwordFormat="Hashed" allowManuallyChangingPassword="false" />
    <add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.UsersMembershipProvider, Umbraco" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="10" useLegacyEncoding="true" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" allowManuallyChangingPassword="false" />
  </providers>
</membership>

    change the useLegacyEncoding to true.

    It relates to this: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-6566

    Completing the forgot password wizard worked for me.
