You might also consider changing to [[plugins/openid]], which does not
require ikiwiki deal with passwords at all, and does not involve users sending
passwords in cleartext over the net to log in, either.
## Empty password security hole
This hole allowed ikiwiki to accept logins using empty passwords, to openid
accounts that didn't use a password. It was introduced in version 1.34, and
fixed in version 2.48. The [bug](http://bugs.debian.org/483770) was
discovered on 30 May 2008 and fixed the same day.
I recommend upgrading to 2.48 immediatly if your wiki allows both password
and openid logins.
