MyBB Community Forums

I have a couple of questions about MYBB

1. What password hashing method is used?

2. Are UTF-8 character sets used?

3. How can we disallow characters used in name creation? We'd like to bridge our custom portal with our forum solution. However we must be able to disallow certain characters.

Thank you.

1. I'm not sure on the details but if I remember right it's sha1(good chance I got this part wrong ) and a salt.

2. Yes

3. It's possible but you'll need to make modifications. How exactly I don't know .

1. $stored_pass = md5(md5($password).md5($salt);

2. If it's not like that after install, there's a tool to convert in the ACP.

3. You can ban wildcard usernames in the ACP.
