Hi Thomas, I noticed you prepared a patch[1] using MySQL's PASSWORD() function. Please note that this function should *not* be used by applications besides MySQL itself[2] in addition to not salting the hash. The crypt function included in PHP itself[3] with salting and a modern hash like SHA-512 seems to be a better choice.
