Wow. Just wow

I just updated from an older version to current. All I can say is “thanks for completely ruining my install.”
Can’t SSH in anymore. Can’t log in anymore. Can’t get the account creation page. I’m just plain screwed. I only have one question… WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU DO THAT!?
I had many many hours into that setup and you completely destroyed it. And from what I’ve read there’s no way to reverse your idiotic forced authentication changes short of modding the code myself.
Do you have ANY idea how much time and gnashing of teeth you’ve cost your userbase?
Seriously, you guys are assholes.
