 * "Step 6" (when you're done) isn't really a step, so it's a total of 5 steps.
 * When user account is created, step should be set to 10.
 * Added a "progressbar" for the signup process on the main menu (unless you're at step 10).
 * Added an option to create a MySQL database via the signup program if you are at step 10. If you already have a database, the option should be changed to "change password".

  • The quiz now has a time limit. You have 10 minutes to answer all the questions and get every single answer right.
  • Passwords for the signup accounts are no longer auto generated, instead you can choose whatever password you like.
  • Users can change their passwords at any point.
  • Passwords are stored "encrypted" (hashed) using SHA1 and a salt.

  • You can not recover the password the same way as before, since only a hash is stored there is no way to get the password back. Instead a new password is generated and emailed back to you.
  • You no longer have to keep the signup program running while waiting for the SMS. You can log in again at a later time and enter the code.
  • Lots of minor changes and fixes.
  • Probably a couple of new bugs introduced ;-)
