Hi Marcus,
for sure I can: The only thing where the JS lib is active is in encoding 
the form send to authenticate.
If you have an password with an special char in the old lib they simply 
got stripped out. With the new lib they are transmitted, too.

As Christian told "passwords magically" work. Since while setting a new 
Password no RSA is in place (neither in be nor in fe) no wrong password 
went into database. Therefore all shoudl work fine.

There might be an impact on frontendusers who created user with an 
extension supporting rsa, because then the "stripped" password went into db.
