After completion I see a record in the users table.

Nevertheless YAF keeps telling me my the account or password is invalid.

I tried this installation two times. Once without and once with AspNetSqlMembershipProvider enabled

I can't get my finger behind this issue...

any help would be nic

I am a yaf newbie! first time installation

The yaf_user record shows 'na' in the password field

I registered a new user with username 'test' and password 'test12'

Upon registration I was automatically logged in.

Then I logged out.

Next when I try to login with test, test12 I received the error that my account or password are incorrect.

I now have the source code running on my development computer. Where does the actual username / password get checked, in what c# function?

from-...

<membership defaultProvider="YafMembershipProvider" hashAlgorithmType="HMACSHA256">

to

 <membership defaultProvider="YafMembershipProvider" hashAlgorithmType="SHA1">

You also need to clear the database

Request: Set SHA1 default in the webconfig, instead of SHA256. Saves ignorant users like me a lot of time....
