Error: Unable to Generate Hash when trying to login into Admin

Ryan, considering the PHP versions after 5.3.7 have the Blowfish problem solved shouldn't the check as follows?

public function supportsBlowfish() {
    return version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.7') >= 0 && defined("CRYPT_BLOWFISH") && CRYPT_BLOWFISH;
}

3. Changed admin password in users setup

@Radek, what did you mean by "users setup" in step 3 of your solution? Is this users setup within the PW admin site?

Yes in PW admin backend, but you can change pass this way too (it is less confusing)

i've the same problem "Unable to Generate Hash" moving the site from local dev enviroment to web server running PHP 5.3.8

upgrading PHP to 5.4 is not an option.

not a solution, but a simple workaround:

1. installing PW on the web server and creating users

2. moving PW to local dev and complete the development

3. moving back to web server

no problem to login anymore

it seems, the key is the initial installation

That's interesting, as you should be okay on any PHP 5.3.x (at least those above 5.3.7). I'm wondering if maybe the web server's PHP omitted blowfish support for one reason or another.
