No way. From any client <3.0 from any OS (not only linux). And this is by design. We have to make that step or we will always have to stay with that 8-byte passwords. > The main reason I see for using the old security database format in the > installer is to make it easy for our users to get started with FB3.

Certainly in A1 security is not real goal :-) But let's have an exact plan - when do we start to use SRP by default? > It is up for discussion as to whether it is the default click through option > or not. On my mind ability to lower security level can't be available by default. Please also take into an account that using legacy plugin to authenticate breaks wire encryption. > Users are not against change, they just like to do it at their own > pace.
