There was a brief moment where authentication via the login page wasn't working. If you tried to change your password sometime today, it probably didn't go through. Both of these issues should be resolved.
I am working on strengthening the encryption algorithm for passwords in case of the unfortunate event our database becomes compromised. The changes are live and I am monitoring server performance. FFXIAH has hit 100K registered users recently.

I've been thinking about it for awhile and researching some best practices. With news of all the break-ins on other sites (PSN etc), I thought it was a good time to work on it. It can be tricky changing how a site stores passwords, there is a risk of screwing up big time.
It also said my account wasnt in the database for a while. :x
