re: adding a * in front of the encrypted pw should be enough
Authored by: Xeo on Mar 11, '02 09:15:00PM

True, adding a * would do this as well, but I think the method I use is much more elegant. To me, it's a lot easier to insert a value then destroy that value instead of actually tampering with the password itself.

I actually toyed with the idea of prepending a * but the method to take that * away is more risky than inserting a separate value that can be destroyed.
