Effects of changing password length
I'm looking to change the password length for an existing Wiki and wondered if this will have a negative effect on existing users who have passwords with fewer characters. If so, can this be managed? --Guy Grannum 12:00, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's a valid question. I would think that the change affects only new registrations, however I am not sure. I will ask at the support desk for confirmation. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 19:30, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
