The email-verification roundtrip which is required to create a new login, or
change the password of an existing login, is retained. For the time being,
creating an account and updating a password will also be reflected in the
htpasswd file which was used for authentication previously; however, since
this cancels the advantage of stronger password hashing which django's built-in

change the password of an existing login, is retained.
For the large majority of users, who either didn't have a password hash in
the database before the transition to the Python/Django based database
frontend on 16 July 2010, or had a password hash in the database, but have
updated their password after 3 July 2012, there should be no impact.
Password hashes have been imported as needed from the http auth password
hash file. The few who had a password hash in the system before 16 July
2010, and haven't updated their password since 3 July 2012 are encouraged to
set a new password using the password reset form at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/reset/ .
If there are issues which prevent a password reset, please email
