g0> So my question/challenge is: If I am going to make them case sensitive g0> which I think they should be, how do I handle converting existing g0> passwords? My guess is that I should convert them all to lowercased g0> letters because I assume thats how most people typed their passwords in g0> the past. Can you not convert them "as-is?" If someone has created a password in the past with CaSe.SeNsItIvE even though it never took in the past.. Converting them as-is would at least make it work in the future.. Or is this not an option? g0> Or do I just leave the passwords case insensitive but still add in all of g0> the rest of the ideas? The more secure, the better. If there's no option to convert as-is, then I guess convert them all to lowercase.
