Magento 2 Legacy Authentication extension
Allows Customer to be logged in using legacy password mechanism (MD5).
Especially useful when Customers are imported from another Ecommerce platform which uses MD5 algorithm.
Getting Started
Download the extension as a ZIP file from this repository, unzip the archive and upload the files to /app/code/Sinwashere/LegacyAuthentication.
After uploading, run the following Magento CLI commands:
bin/magento module:enable Sinwashere_LegacyAuthentication
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
These commands will enable the LegacyAuthentication extension, perform necessary database updates, and re-compile your Magento store.
Legacy Authentication can be configured under:
Magento Admin -> Stores -> Configuration -> Sinwashere -> Legacy Authentication.
Here you'll be able to enable/disable MD5 authentication, as well as to configure MD5 salt.
Support
If you find a bug in my extension, open a new issue right here in GitHub.
For general questions about LegacyAuthentication or specific issues with your store, please contact me.
