If your passCt table is already installed ans in use, and if it contains only clear passwords, you will convert your table. This conversion is final !

DON'T CONVERT AN ALREADY CONVERTED TABLE!!!

<div style="text-align:center;">
  <p>External passCat authentication form</p>
  <p>Category : <strong>$PASSCAT_CAT</strong></p>

  $PASSCAT_BEGIN_FORM
    <p>Password : $PASSCAT_PASSWORD</p>
    <p><input class="submit" type="submit" value="Authentifiez-vous" /></p>
  $PASSCAT_END_FORM
</div>
    

This form is saved in the file "share/passCat/passCat_auth".
