In the previous version, classic, I used IdeaBlade.Util.CryptoFns.MD5HashUTF16ToString to encrypt my passwords. Is this still around or do I need to perform some magic to get my users to login?

You just use the standard .NET libraries in System.Security.Cryptography for this now.  MD5 has already been broken and is considered insecure, so I'd recommend one of the SHA classes for hashing.  Also, the System.Convert.ToBase64String (and FromBase64String) are very handy to use with the cryptographic functions.
 
We're also recommending people take a look at using ASP.NET Security instead of creating their own authentication table.
 
If you have an existing login table and need to duplicate the logic of the original hash from DevForce Classic, open a support case and we can send you the source code for the MD5 CryptoFns.

Tx for the offer. Luckily I only have a handful of users. I will just reset their passwords.
