| Description | The APNIC Whois server will be updated to support bcrypt for password hashes. APNIC will use the bcrypt password hash by default for all new member maintainer/IRT objects, and also when a user changes their maintainer/IRT password via MyAPNIC. The existing Whois authentication methods (CRYPT-PW, MD5-PW, PGPKEY) are not affected by these updates, and objects using those existing methods will not be changed as part of the updates. |
