mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user(). The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event). Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do

summary: PHPBB3 authentication module
...

Introduction
============

This module allows you to authenticate against an PHPBB3 database.

To support the `bcrypt` password hashing algorithm, install
[bcrypt](https://luarocks.org/modules/mikejsavage/bcrypt) from luarocks:

    luarocks install bcrypt

Configuration
=============

SQL connection paramaters are identical to those of [SQL
storage](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_storage_sql).

    authentication = "phpbb3"
    sql = { -- See documentation for SQL storage
        driver = "MySQL";
        database = "phpbb3";
        host = "localhost";
        username = "prosody";
        password = "secretpassword";
    }

Compatibility
=============

Prosody 0.8+
