Issue
- Testing for a blank password using %EMPTY() never returns TRUE.
Resolution
- User passwords and passwords entered using a text field with the password option enabled are stored in the database using the MD5 hash function. To test for a blank password, use the MD5 hash of a password that's known to be blank. To compare an MD5-encoded value with a literal string, encode the string and then compare the 2 hash values.
