# Breaking: #102763 - Frontend user password recovery hashes invalidated

See [forge#102763](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/102763)

## Description

The replacement of deprecated class
`\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Security\Cryptography\HashService` results in existing
password recovery hashes of frontend users being invalid.

## Impact

A frontend user with a valid and unexpired password recovery link created with
a TYPO3 version < 13 can not use the password recovery link to reset the
password.

These hashes have a limited lifetime already (12 hours). On large installations
that require hashes to survive a major update, you could write a small CLI task
that re-adds missing hashes created in the maintenance time window of the upgrade.

## Affected installations

TYPO3 installations which use the "Display Password Recovery Link" option of
ext:fe_login.

## Migration

Frontend users need to request a new password recovery link to reset the
password.
