Per my earlier post about changing the encryption methods of passwords, I had a chance to test out the directions I had to see if they really worked. In fact, they worked perfectly. And to check that things actually changed, I took a look at the crypted password before and after I logged in.

That was the encrypted password before I logged in.

And this was the encrypted password after I logged in.

Since the system allowed me to login, it worked fine.
