Hey,
without installing rsaauth or saltedpasswords nothing is changed in 
TYPO3s behavoir of password handling.
Your frontendusers should be able to login as ever.

You probably might track down this to an cookie problem.
Make sure that there are no mir "old version" cookies present, and have 
look in logs (enable logging for the auth service) to get to know why it 
fails - as it should not.

If you have enabled one of the new extensions make sure you did not 
misconfigure it, default configurations should do their jobs to.

If you may provide further information, I'm curious about solving your 
problem - which, imho, does not belong to any of the "new handlings" but 
an missing step in upgrade process.
