Important: #85833 - saltedpasswords extension merged into core extension
See forge#85833
Description
The previously available system extension saltedpasswords has been removed as its
functionality has been merged into core. All functionality is still available but
renamed related to a better Hashing API.
This resolves a hard cross-dependency between EXT: and EXT:
since TYPO3 v6 as it was a sane default to properly use password hashes.
Backwards compatibility is given by automatic upgrades of settings when visiting the Install Tool.
For composer-based installations this means the dependency to typo3/
can safely be removed via
composer remove typo3/, although this is
not mandatory due to the fact that typo3/ is noted as a replacement for
saltedpasswords in its composer. file.
In some edge-cases for non-composer-based installations it might be necessary to remove
the saltedpasswords entry from
typo3conf/.
Any checks for
Extension in
third-party extensions which were not necessary (as saltedpasswords had to be installed
at any time anyways), can safely be removed.
