From the Cobras developer;

Yeah… if you don’t change your PINs for years and port them multiple times 
without changing them you will have problems… Unity and early versions of 
Connection and then later versions of Connection all used different hashes or 
PWs and PINs… nothing any client can do about that –

Maybe a separate “everything you ever wanted to know about PINs and passwords” 
section could pull all that into a single section might help…

I just did an upgrade from 7.1.5 to 9.1(2) and had this exact same issue – TAC 
traced it to be users that had not changed their PIN for a while.

I ran into this issue once and tracked it down to the time when the user had 
last changed/set their pin.  In my situation only about 20% of the users were 
affected. The other 80% were fine.

I tracked the issue down by running a user data dump, and all the users that 
had reported the problem had the last pin changed time of much older than 
everyone else.  In my case, the authentication rules on this system did not 
expire the pins, so some users had the same pins for years.

Instead of rolling back, I opted to run a bulk pin reset to the default for 
these users and then sent a mass email to all of them telling them that their 
PIN had been reset.

If you don't expire your pins this might be your problem.  While I didn't try 
this, you could go into the current 7 system and set the password policy to 
force users to change their pin on the next login and let everyone update their 
pin before you run the upgrade again.

I believe the aggravating factor is that the users in question last changed 
their pin on an older version of connection that used a different encryption 
type, that is not supported by v9.
