+Check new login_empty_passwords setting
+---------------------------------------
+
+In this version of Roundup, users with a blank password are not
+allowed to login. Blank passwords have been allowed since 2002, but
+2022 is a different time. If you have a use case that requires a user
+to login without a password, set the ``login_empty_passwords`` setting
+in the ``web`` section of ``config.ini`` to ``yes``.
