All existing passwords in a project or published application can be converted to the new scheme if desired with a the utility function named a5ws_RefreshPasswordEncryptionUtility().

'a5ws_RefreshPasswordEncryptionUtility()' can be run from the development program interactive window or the application server interactive window. When run from the development program, a list of all projects in the workspace that have security will be shown (unless there is only one project). When run on the application server, a list of all applications in the webroot that have security will be shown (unless there is only one application).

The function will convert all previously encrypted passwords in the selected application or project to the new password encryption.

If you change the encryption key or add a new key, all existing passwords will be lost, and will need to be re-entered.
