Requirements for password field in db.py file are as follows: db.auth_user.password.requires = [IS_STRONG(min=8,max=None,upper=None,lower=None,special=None,number=None,error_message='Too short'), CRYPT(auth.settings.hmac_key)]
there are aslo defined these parameters: auth.settings.controller = 'default' auth.settings.hmac_key='sha512:phraseforthepass' I was not sure if I import enough modules so beside the obvious: from gluon.tools import * I aslo imported these two: from gluon.utils import * from gluon.validators import * Massimo, after I added the part of code you suggested in my registration page (register.html): {{=CRYPT(auth.settings.hmac_key)('hello world')}} I got this on the page in web browser: ('ae0bd13943b9f20d94ee01dd121d26bbee315f269d309de6aacbfeeeefe6e1c9d75c3d1549dbf9cf2db8c0ecf9094c72cca33baac3944256815e6969fbc97830', None) On 14 Sie, 00:16, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > can you try > > print CRYPT(auth.settings.hmac_key)('hello world') > > what do you get?
