HI Jeff,

i cant remember exactly which file it was, LIB folder i believe, i found the line that was giving me the error, i commented it out, (it looks to be a secondary check thats failing for some reason), so commenting it out has stopped the error for me,

i just searched the error specifically in my project folder , it came up with the Lib file, and commented it out.

i have no idea if thats the right thing to do, but it works

UPDATE: the file was LIB\Password.php

line 44 : // $plaintext === '' => throw new InvalidArgumentException('Password cannot be blank'),

Thanks David

That's done the trick for me too.

Dave and/or Tim. Would you be able to chip in and let us know if this has any other repursions, security wise?

Also, any idea why it's an issue on some sites and not all? I've not done an extensive test, and it could be a coincidence, but the site with the error is the only site I have running with 3.75.

EDIT. I updated from 3.74 to 3.75 on the 27 December, and we didn't have any issues until today. It was working fine around 8-9pm (GMT) yesterday. Error first noticed around 7am today.

Jeff
