v4.3.6 - Authentication Hotfix

on GitHub

Critical Hotfix

Bug Fixes

• Authentication: Improved bcrypt hash validation to detect and warn about truncated hashes (addresses #316)
  • System now detects when bcrypt hashes are truncated (less than 60 characters)
  • Clear error messages guide users to generate proper hashes
  • Prevents silent authentication failures from invalid hashes

For Users with Authentication Issues

If you're seeing "Password is stored in plain text" warnings with what looks like a bcrypt hash, your hash is likely truncated. Bcrypt hashes must be exactly 60 characters.

To fix:

1. Use the Quick Security Setup in the UI (visit http://your-ip:7655 without auth first)
2. Or generate a proper hash: docker run --rm -it rcourtman/pulse:latest ./pulse hash-password
3. Use the COMPLETE 60-character hash (don't cut any characters)
