I have an Umbraco 4.0.2.1 install that still has plain-text passwords. I know that I've been able to change that to hashed passwords, but I can't for the live of me remember how I did that. Is that even possible or did I imagine it?
Open your web.config got to the membership providers section (both members and users). Change the passwordFormat attribute to "Hashed"
Tip: make sure you are logged in as admin when you do that and when you modified the web.config you change your admin password so it's stored as hashed instead of plain-text
Thanks Richard! So it sounds like I would have to go through this process for all of the users in this install. Ah well, I can do 5 users, it's not too bad.
How do I change to hashed passwords?

I'm glad that I don't have members yet! ;-)
Well I know a nice workaround using an import tool if you have the same issue with members in the future ;-)
